A Musical Life: Weston Townsley

Weston Townsley

Weston Townsley plays drums with Not Cops and The Somber Arrows. He is also a photographer and sous chef at Siena Tuscan Steakhouse.

“I view myself as an artist in three rights. Primarily with the music and, secondly, the cooking thing has become really strong. Third, with photography. Undoubtedly, they are all connected for me. As I’m cooking I’m always listening to music. Cooking is a very rhythmic thing. Very involved. With those too I’m usually crafting my dishes into a form that I’m also thinking of photographically the whole time. The three are very much interwoven for me and very much part of the fabric of my life.”

Jedd Beaudoin is host/producer of the nationally syndicated program Strange Currency. He created and host the podcast Into Music, which examines musical mentorship and creative approaches to the composition, recording and performance of songs. As a music journalist, his work has appeared in PopMatters, Vox, No Depression and Keyboard Magazine.
