There will be a new person behind the drum kit for Tesla‘s upcoming shows as the group’s long-time drummer Troy Luccketta is taking some time off the road and during that time, he will be replaced by Steve Brown (The End Machine).
The following message was posted on Luccketta‘s Facebook page earlier today:
“Dear Tesla Fan‘s!
After 35 plus years of touring with Tesla I have decided to take a little time from the road to spend with family and friends.
I am happy and well, and couldn’t be more grateful to my bandmates for this opportunity.
I am also looking forward to some musical ventures closer to home so I will keep you all updated
In my absence please show some love to Steve Brown.
Steve is a dear friend, and great drummer!
He has played with Oleander, Ronnie Montrose just to name a few. He is one of Sacramento‘s finest, The perfect choice so to speak!
I am filled with nothing but Love and gratitude. I look forward to reconnecting with you all again in the near future.
Much love and respect Troy.
