About Jimmy Keegan
Drums

Jimmy started playing drums at 10 years old. A few months after receiving his first drum set, he landed a TV show alongside the late River Phoenix. A few months later, he was doing theater in LA as a cast member and musician. By 14 he started his first band, Polo, that would end up performing in regular rotation at Disneyland, winning Starsearch, and playing for numerous telethons. By 18 he had started getting calls for sessions and tours, and it expanded from there. He says, “I was lucky to have a huge family with all kinds of music playing at all times. As I grew as a musician, I just continued that trend of listening to everything. Consequently, I got calls from R&B artists as often as rock, pop, and country artists from Santana, John Waite, and Kenny Loggins, to Tevin Campbell and Tony Orlando.”

In 2003, Jimmy began touring with Spock’s Beard alongside fellow Aquarian artist Nick D’Virgilio. 2012 saw Nick leaving and Jimmy taking over as the full-time drummer with the release of “Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep,” and in 2015 with “The Oblivion Particle.” Now onto new territory, Jimmy has a solo album coming, and the fourth album from Pattern Seeking Animals, “Spooky Action at a Distance,” is out now.
