Stephen Bott is a versatile drummer, percussionist, and educator. After a B.M.E. from Central Michigan University, Stephen moved to Boulder, Colorado, where he is currently teaching (Center for Musical Arts, Boulder Music Studio, and local public schools), gigging (Ravinwolf, Boulder Symphony), and finishing up a master's degree in percussion performance at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
