When Trop Rock artists need a little musical magic, Alan Jax Bowers is the guy they call. He is first and foremost a drummer, but he’s also a producer and studio wizard. A multi-time Trop Rock Musician of the Year nominee, Jax has his fingerprints on many of the genre’s biggest hits. In this episode, Jax takes us inside his world: from his unique drumming style and thoughts on AI in music, to the musical alchemy happening at his Englewood, Florida, studio, affectionately known as “The Hit Hut.”
