Afro-Brazilian Bateria Meets Modern Day Drum Funk
If there were such a distinction, Mike Wofchuck would be Chico's "drummer laureate." Since the Bay Area native came to Chico in 1988, he's provided a wide range of beats for some of the area's most beloved musical acts — the original drummer for The Mother Hips, and a past member of MaMuse alongside Karisha Longaker and Sarah Nutting.
In recent years, he's led Wolfthump: a drumline fusing traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythms with modern funk sensibilities and featuring an eclectic collection of local artists and musicians. They are the wildly beating heart of every festival, concert, and community event they join.
"There's an idea that your mind isn't the main perceiver of that music — it's more of a feeling. It really hits you in the heart. People look for that. They want a release."— Mike Wofchuck, Bandleader
