Hemp Meadows (Scott Arvin) is a lifelong musician.
Hemp grew up in a Southern Baptist family where he started out singing gospel music and hymns. “Church provides you a great opportunity to sing,” he reminds.
He was enamored with the drums and started playing. He played in the youth symphony and the high school band and studied percussion at the university level. Along the way, the Beatles happened, and he, along with the rest of the world, discovered Rock and Roll. “That changed the trajectory of my life,” he recalls.
He wasn’t into country music (like Tammy Wynette and George Jones), Opera, or even Frank Sinatra. He was all about The Who, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.
In his youth, Hemp played drums in numerous local rock bands until they broke up. About that time Crosby, Stills, and Nash came along and their sound was “so enchanting” that he wanted to learn to play guitar as well. He was also compelled by the counter-culture revolution in the late 60s and early 70s.
