Jim Sonefeld: The Power Of Asking ‘Why Not?’
This week Andrew talks with Hootie & The Blowfish drummer & 2x Grammy Award winner Jim Sonefeld. In 1989, Jim & bandmates Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, & Darius Rucker were playing gigs at small bars & fraternity parties at the University of South Carolina. In 1994, they released their first album Cracked Rear View — and it became a massive success. The band went on to win 2 Grammys, release 6 more studio albums, & sell over 25 million albums worldwide. In this conversation, Jim shares a behind-the-scenes look at his extraordinary career & the success secrets that have made Hootie & The Blowfish one of the most iconic bands of all-time.
