My name is Don Gillmer and I manage and perform with Away Team based out of Greenville, SC USA. We are a professional party, wedding and event band. I began playing drums as a young teenager and continued on through school. After graduating I played some with friends in local bands before getting involved heavily in our local music scene.

 

Performing with bands such as Soulshine, The Swingin’ Richards, Russ Moore 4, Vincent Vega, Modern Day Society and Benton Blount I have worn many musical hats. I have hosted a weekly music series at a local venue for 7 years running. I am a founder and current manager and drummer for Away Team. We are a a roster of musicians who can come together to perform at any type of event in several different lineups. We currently have 20 musicians on our roster and perform over 100 dates a year.

 

Some of my favorite drumming influences are John Bonham, Shannon Larkin, Neil Peart, Carter Beauford, Todd Sucherman and Taylor Hawkins.

 

”Press quotes & testimonials”

 

As a charity that has supported musicians and artists for over 5 years it was definitely a pleasure having The Away Team be part of the band line up for our themed event, “Brews Springsteen”. We can’t thank you enough for the support, commitment and professionalism to make our event a success. Look forward to working with all of you again.
