Sierra Drummond

Sierra Drummond is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music runs the gamut of many styles from indie folk to Americana to R&B/blues. Her honest lyricism and raw voice invokes names like Bonnie Raitt and Tracy Chapman, and more current voices like Ms. Lauryn Hill and Norah Jones. She was influenced by all aforementioned artists but especially by her parents, (members of 70s prog rock band Ambrosia and contemporary duo Tin Drum) who instilled in her a passion for music from a young age. After sustaining a vocal injury setback that prevented her from singing for 4 years, Sierra has taken a circuitous route to pursuing music, working first in education and the non-profit sector, only recently healing enough to find her way back to her first true passion. She works primarily as a singer-songwriter, but also as a touring musician, teacher, resident “troubadour” at the Old Place/Cornell Wine Co with her partner Danny Levy, & as a freelance bassist, keyboardist, guitarist, in a rotation of bands throughout Ventura and LA county. She is a proud member of Tin Drum Family Band alongside her brother Burleigh McDowall Drummond, and her parents, Mary and Burleigh. Her upcoming release, the “Strawberry Blonde” EP, is a collection of love letters to her long-time musical & romantic partner, Danny Levy .
