An American drummer, percussionist and composer, Shrieve is most well-known for being the drummer of rock band Santa. He appeared as the drummer on the band’s opening seven albums, between 1969 and 1974. Shrieve was only 20 when he preformed at Woodstock, making him the second youngest musician to perform. With Michael Carabello on one side and Jose “Chepito” Areas on the other, Shrieve laid down a tumbling, jazz-infused solo midway through “Soul Sacrifice” that remains a phenomenal memory almost 50 years on. Carlos Santana said in 2013. “He opened a whole new dimension for my heart.” Shrieve went on to work with many people, from the Pat Travers Band to the Rolling Stones, showcasing his adjustable range.
