"Jerome Deupree is my 'first string'
drummer in the Boston area, as well as a good friend. He is the main
drummer for my pub band 'The Bright Moments,' with Robbie Phillips on
electric bass diddley bo.
"Jerome is best known for his work in the
1990s with the progressive rock band Morphine, led by the late Mark
Sandman. (He appears on their first two albums, Good, and Cure For Pain,
as well as their final album The Night.) He has also gigged and
recorded with dozens of other artists and bands, including
Either/Orchestra, Bourbon Princess, The Coots, The Jeff Robinson Trio, The
Bourbonaires, John Cougar, The Humans, and The Funky White Honkies. Jerome
is a drummer with big ears and a mastery of many styles. And he has a good
sense of humor, which is a must."

Jeremy Lyons, Dana Colley and Jerome
Deupree together are "Members of Morphine: the Elastic Waste Band." They
perform songs by the late Morphine-frontman Mark Sandman, as well as their
own brand of "psycho-delta blues." In July of 2009, Jeremy, Dana and
Jerome performed at Nel Nome Del Rock Festival in Palestrina, Italy, ten
years to the day after Mark passed away on that very same stage. The trio
include two-third of the original line-up of the seminal Boston-based
progressive rock band, the two who backed Sandman up their debut record
Good and the band's break-out follow-up, Cure for Pain.
Jeremy plays electric guitar and a version Sandman's own 2-string
slide bass.
