Billy Hoke

Hoke grew up in a military family and moved to Boulder in 1969 from Aspen. He landed in the middle of the city’s music scene. Hoke is the owner of the legendary Boulder Drum Shop.“One of the first things I did when I moved here is I got on the Rolling Stones crew as stage security for a show up in Fort Collins,” he said. “I went up there and Mick (Jagger) took me under his wing and made me smoke hash with him for a couple of hours.”Hoke went on to reminisce about playing drums with Todd from Big Head Todd and the Monsters or getting the chance to do some session work at the Caribou Ranch Recording Studio up in Nederland. During our conversation, Hoke rattled off numerous big-name musicians who have, at one time or another, called Boulder home, like Joe Walsh, Stephen Stills, Dan Fogelberg and Michael Clarke of The Byrds, among others.
