Peter Storn began his professional journey in Los Angeles, where he played in various club bands and participated in studio sessions with artists like Irene Cara, George Johnson (from Brothers Johnson), and David Williams (from Michael Jackson). After spending six years on the road with a Rock/Dance/Variety band, he moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he collaborated with several groups across diverse styles. His work included Pop/Rock/Alternative with '1933,' Funk/R&B with Jamtrak, Contemporary Jazz/Smooth Jazz with Cliff Sarde, Jazz with Dennis Rowland, and Country with 'House of Steel,' featuring steel guitar player Mike G. Smith (known for his work with the Gatlin Brothers, Judds, and Jerry Reed). Notably, he was also part of one of Pam Nelson's earlier Country/Classic Rock bands, Sedona Crossing.

As a Pacific Northwest transplant who grew up in the Midwest and moved abroad, spending time in Europe, Central America, and the South Pacific before retiring to Oracle, AZ in 2022, Adrian finds invigorating enjoyment in making delightful rhythmic sounds while banging on things. His passion for live music shines through as he often performs with the Pam Nelson band.
Adrian prefers to assault percussion instruments in a style influenced by John Philip Sousa, Neil Peart, and later by Lars Ulrich, evolving a unique sound that blends rock, country, jazz, and punk with a hint of polka.
Playing gigs in the 70s and 80s, he started with what we now refer to as classic rock (back then it was simply called rock!). Over time, he ventured into heavy metal, eventually returning to the other end of the musical spectrum as a percussionist in a classical orchestra, including memorable shows at Sedona Crossing.
Outside of music, Adrian enjoys a wide variety of extracurricular activities, from softball to software programming to scuba diving (should the opportunity arise). He also appreciates a perfectly cooked steak, has an extraordinary addiction to candy, and enjoys short walks on the beach.
