James 'Biscuit' Rouse Presents "The Woodshed"

Featuring: DJ Twilight Tone, Chris Parks, Maku. & Jared Jacobs

Musicians and Singers are all welcomed!

Music has always been at the center of producer, drummer, percussionist, and vocalist James C. Rouse's (Biscuit) world. In fact, his passion for music along with his natural musical ability have taken him all over the world.

He has played drums on tours and spot dates with Gerald Veasely, Karen Bernod, Triad, Kelis, Lady Alma, Bilal, Kelly Clarkson, Glenn Jones, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Leon Ware, J.T. Taylor from Kool and the Gang, Chubby Checker, Jazmine Sullivane as well as many local acts and shows in the Tri- State area, thus allowing him to exhibit a wide range of performance and musical ability.

His skill as a singer and a percussionist, along with rich touring experience, has added strength and character to the fabric of his musicianship. But the real beauty of his work can be found in his drumming; where his rhythmic beats, filled with steady soul, are translated into liquid energy both on stage and in the studio.
