This music interstitial features Stewart Copeland, founding member and drummer of The Police, one of the most influential and unmistakable bands in rock history.
Known for his explosive, expressive drumming and larger-than-life personality, Copeland helped shape the sound and creative tension that made The Police a defining band of its era. His career has since stretched far beyond the drum kit, with decades of work as a composer for film, television, orchestral projects, and video games.
Ahead of his Portland appearance at the Aladdin Theater on June 27, Copeland reflects on the chaos and chemistry of The Police, the unexpected path that led him into film scoring, and his current live show, Have I Said Too Much?, an evening of stories, humor, music, and behind-the-scenes perspective from one of rock’s great characters.
