  • Hootie Drummer Wrote a Book

    …and he’s chatting about it tonight at 7 p.m. If you are in or around Naperville, IL, click on over to Anderson’s bookshop for tickets. Each ticket purchaser apparently gets a free copy of Soni’s book, Swimming With the Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of Ride. Along with the more serious topics of addiction and recovery, Soni will hopefully regale with a scandalous tale or two of what it was like to bang (drums) in the biggest radio band of the ’90s.

  • Hootie Drummer Gets Married

    Jim “Soni” Sonefeld, drummer for ’90s rock kings Hootie & the Blowfish, has tied the knot with Laura Bryan…who used to be married to Hootie guitarist Mark Bryan. No telling whether the Fleetwood Mac-esque bed-hopping will produce a Rumours-like comeback (er…umm…), but it’ll definitely make great fodder for a new Behind the Music episode.

    We’re waiting for the marriage photos. Until then, here’s Soni in all of his shorn glory.
