It seemed like Nikki Glaspie was playing drums with everyone at Bear Creek in 2013. She played no less than 8 full sets, including 4 full sets on Sunday. Here she is with Chali 2na’s House of Vibe Band, 2 sets with the Jennifer Hartswick Band and a late night set with The Nth Power.
She also played with Dumpstaphunk, The Bear Creek Allstars (Dumpstajam) and subbed for Adam Deitch in Lettuce. Those 3 sets can be founds here. She also held it down with Roosevelt Collier & Nigel Hall’s Gospel Surprise, but I’m holding on to those videos until I find an audio source (I accidentally left my mic turned off so I have no sound for that set). Enjoy the last of my Bear Creek 2013 videos:
