Marshall Greenhouse – Drummer & Assistant Band Director

Marshall's daily rhythm is music to anyone's ears. He has been playing drums since the age of eight, and pretty much never stopped. The owner of the percussion school Drum Chicago also performs with local kindie rock sensation Super Stolie, AfroZep (an awesome Led Zeppelin/African fusion ensemble), KAVA and Mano. Aside from his performing life, he is also the Assistant Band Director at Lincoln Elementary in Lincoln Park and teaches private lessons at his home. In addition to all of that he also has a lovely one-year-old girl, Lumen Della. Of course, with all the drumming going on, Lumen is banging on everything, trying to be just like her dad. Says Marshall, “She even taught another girl her age how to play drums on a table.” It sounds like we have another rock star in the making.
