Jake Robinson: Shed Culture in Nashville | Overcoming Anxiety, Spontaneous Artistry, & the Power of Boredom
On September 30th, we were stoked to be part of the 1st-ever 615Shedz event hosted at Drum Box Nashville. Today we sit down with the founder of 615Shedz, Jake Robinson, a Fort Myers, FL native who moved to Nashville in 2022 upon graduating from the Berklee College of Music. Recording extensively in the Berklee studios, gigging around the Boston scene, spending hours each day in the practice rooms, and hosting late-night drum sheds, Jake was always finding some way to be involved with the community. Since moving to Nashville, Jake has built a reputation of being one of the most unique and versatile drummers in the scene, specializing stylistically in Jazz Fusion, R&B/Hip Hop, Funk, Neo-Soul, and Rock. In this wide-ranging interview, we discuss the benefits to a drum shed and why you should give one a try, ways to overcome fear and anxiety behind the drums, and the cultural perception of old vs new Nashville. We hope you enjoy!
