MEMORIAL For DRUMMER: Michael Anthony DiMauro

Rest In Peace Michael

April 21, 1960- December 31, 2015

COMMENTARY: by Saint Pierre Concert Art Shows honoring a seasoned professional passionate musician & performer. Michael passed away on NEW YEARS EVE finishing up the year... finishing up his earthly life... at the age of 55 years old, after his brave fight with the human enemy, cancer.

"We will miss you, MICHAEL... for the joy that you brought to many"!

Concert Art Shows remembers the gala fundraising event THE IRON BUTTERFLY CONCERT on MAIN STREET to "HELP THE KIDS", and certainly the 3 tequila Mexican planning parties with our crew of 15 & band members. WHAT FUN! Michael's current project was IRON BUTTERFLY ALL STAR BAND because original member, Ron Bushy, had serious health issues. Michael provided the back bone beat as one of the most professionally fit members of great performances with this band. Condolences to the family and band members Damian Bujanda, Orlando Larios, and Eric Barnett. He was known as "MICHAEL THE MACHINE" because his drum artistry was always so perfectly on meter timing in the rock beat genre. There was true passion in his music. He was an amazing drummer providing the group with solid "clock work" and creative percussion. Michael was gifted with this skill since eight years old. His academic achievement includes study at The Percussion Institute Of Hollywood. Director Tim Pedersen presided as Michael's private instructor and mentor. His credits include Sonny Mone (Crazyhorse/ Neil Young), Dean Dinning (Toad The Wet Sprocket), and many more. His last known performance was Amigos Cantina, with a big thank you to Mike Toler, tim Timothy Kerzie, and Luke O'Dea, owners & operators. It was a great last performance for Michael Anthony DiMauro.
