Henry Masters - Drums
Henry briefly learned to play the drums for a few months when he was a young warthog but had no kit and had to quit. After moving to Maine in 2018 he joined a dad band and found his love for music. After a couple terrible Christmas albums, Henry moved to Tri-Cities in 2022 and joined Dr.Rock & The Sturgeons! The youngest and least experienced member of the band, Henry has been learning the drums for 5 years now.
