Jamie Eads

Jamie Eads has been a drummer since 1989. A native of Central Kentucky, Jamie caught the music bug at an early age.

Growing up in a home with a mammoth vinyl collection, having a brother thirteen years his senior (who just happened to be a college disc jockey,) and being rebellious by nature, Jamie couldn't escape rock 'n roll. When he discovered Motley Crue in 1985, the writing was on the wall. Once he witnessed Tommy Lee flying upside down while playing the drums, it was only a matter of time. Drumming took center-stage for Jamie in 1989 and he has never looked back. After thousands of hours in a hot garage jamming along to any cassette, record, or CD he could get his hands on, Jamie started forming his own garage bands by the age of 14. The first of these garage bands was Lancelot. The young men that formed that band in 1991 would have a major impact on Jamie's career throughout his life. Jamie moved to Memphis at age 19 and immersed himself into the city's eclectic music scene playing in every heavy metal to old-school Delta Blues band that he could find. This was a time to "pay dues," so to speak. When he returned home to Kentucky in 1997, he was reunited with his former Lancelot bandmates, forming the wildly popular band Funnel.
