Arts Entrepreneurship Podcast: Making Art Work

This week on the podcast is part one of our interview with Eddie Tuduri. You may not recognize his name, but we guarantee you’ve heard him perform! Eddie’s career spans 50 years and he’s played drums with many well known bands including The Beach Boys, Dr. John, Ike Turner, Martha Reeves, Steve Perry, Dwight Yoakam and Michael McDonald to name a few. In addition to his performing career, Eddie’s devoted his life to charitable causes and has been given many awards for his contributions to those with disabilities and impoverished children around the world. In 1997, after a life-changing surfing accident, he founded The Rhythmic Arts Project, a nonprofit 501c3 that educates individuals with intellectual and developmental differences by embracing a curriculum that uses rhythm to address life and learning skills as well as reading, writing and arithmetic. We hope you'll join us for our interview with this selfless and inspiring musician. https://traplearning.org/

Hear how a childhood dream beat out a path to stardom, the sacrifices made along the way, and the rich tapestry of life as a musician that Eddie weaves for us, from his first wedding gig at twelve to the powerful educational outreach through The Rhythmic Arts Project. Discover the life of a musician navigating the waters of fame and anonymity, the definition of success, and the unvarnished truths of the working-class artist. Eddie's journey encapsulates the bittersweet symphony of the music industry, and it's one that resonates with anyone who has ever chased a dream.
