An Evening with World Renowned Drummer, Memoirist and Speaker Zoro

Spend an evening at the library with a musical legend as he discusses and signs his book "Maria’s Scarf: A Memoir of a Mother’s Love, a Son’s Perseverance, and Dreaming Big," and shares a mini musical performance.

As one of the world’s most respected musicians, Zoro the Drummer has commanded some of the most famous stages in the world of rock and R&B music with his drums. Throughout more than thirty years of his career, Zoro has been consistently voted the number one R&B drummer and clinician by the premier music industry publications Modern Drummer, Drum!, and Rhythm Magazine.

He has toured and recorded with Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Brown, The New Edition, Jody Watley, Philip Bailey of Earth Wind & Fire, and many more. Additionally, Zoro is an educator, motivational speaker, and author of The Big Gig: Big-Picture Thinking For Success.

Zoro’s novel, "Maria’s Scarf: A Memoir of a Mother’s Love, a Son’s Perseverance, and Dreaming Big," is a beautiful and transformative memoir that tells the story of a family fighting for survival against almost insurmountable odds. Through laughter, tears, and many misadventures, Zoro touches the heart of every reader—young or old, citizen or immigrant—and speaks to the dreamer in all of us, encouraging everyone to live fantastical lives.
