Ever Present Past is a hybrid storytelling and music broadcast that focuses on music from the past that does not always get its fair share of coverage in today’s musical commentary. Our goal is to make sure the stories behind featured artists, albums, and musical moments continue to live on while educating and entertaining listening audiences.
In this very special episode, host Michael Sarno speaks with Stewart Copeland, founding member and drummer of The Police, about his life in music, the creative tension that helped define one of rock’s most influential bands, and his long career beyond the drum kit. Copeland reflects on his time with The Police, his transition into composing for film and video games, and his current live show, Have I Said Too Much?, coming to Portland’s Aladdin Theater on June 27.
