Nick Meneese
Drums
Born and raised in Marion, Illinois to an incredibly musical family, Nick Meneese has been studying music since childhood. Starting with the concert snare at age 8, he moved on to learn how to play a wide array of other percussive instruments over the next twenty years.
Using the skills developed by learning at the hands of some of the top percussionists Southern Illinois had to offer, Nick participated in every single band program that Marion had made available throughout his schooling career, even going so far as to create school-sanctioned student-led music groups that would persist well beyond high school.
Nick has performed in several music groups around the Southern Illinois area over the last decade and is now seeking to teach what he’s learned to the next group of musicians.
