Richard Stuverud

Richard Stuverud (born Sept. 26, 1964) is an American drummer from Seattle, Washington.[1][2] Known for playing in several bands in the Seattle scene, his first, in the early 80s, was the punk rock band The Fastbacks.[3]

In 1988 he joined the band, War Babies, and also played in "Suicide Squad," the side project of the Brad Sinsel (who was vocalist of the heavy metal band TKO). He played for a short time in the power metal band Fifth Angel and appears in the 1989 video for the song "Time Will Tell." He played in several other bands in Seattle, including the cover band, Luv.Co (with Mother Love Bone and War Babies members), and Blind Horse, which features Bruce Fairweather, ex-guitarist of Mother Love Bone and bass player in Love Battery. He later joined the Portland band, Pilot, and released the album, Stranger's Waltz, in 1998.[4]

Through the mid-90s, Stuverud played in the bands Three Fish and Tres Mts.,[5] both of which feature Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam and Mother Love Bone fame.[6] Pearl Jam's 2011 box set, Vitalogy, includes the previously-unreleased demo version of "Nothingman" with Stuverud on drums[7]

His versatility on drums has landed him tours with Chicago Blues man, Barkin' Bill Smith as well as Nashville's Gary Allan. Since leaving Seattle, Stuverud has recorded and toured internationally with South-African artist Robbi Robb in Tribe After Tribe, Nash Kato of Urge Overkill, U.K. artists, Paul Newsome and Proud Mary, and with the NYC band, White Light Motorcade.

In 2012, he joined Ament's new band RNDM [8] and released the album Acts.[9] He lives in Oakland, California.
