Greg Errico

Greg Errico (born 1 September 1946, San Francisco, California [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:fbfrxqe5ldke Allmusic.com] ] ) is an American musician/record producer, best known for being the drummer for the popular and influential psychedelic soul/funk band, Sly & the Family Stone. Errico was the original drummer for the band, and the first to quit it in early 1971 because of the band's continuing turmoil.

Errico joined the David Bowie band for his "Diamond Dogs" 1974 tour of the U.S. during September 1974.

Errico later collaborated with bands such as Santana, Weather Report and the Grateful Dead. In the early 1980s, he was the drummer of the Jerry Garcia Band. He also worked with Larry Graham from Sly & The Family Stone, plus members of the Tower of Power horns, Journey and the Pointer Sisters on an album for Betty Davis.

Errico still lives in the Bay Area, and continues to play and produce. One of his recent projects was producing the Jamie Davis big band album. He also played at the 2006 Grammy Awards, in the Sly & the Family Stone tribute, alongside most of his former bandmates. In recent years he has played drums for the reformed Quicksilver Messenger Service.

Errico played at Woodstock and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
