One-on-One with Steve Adubato

Bob Santelli on the GRAMMY Museum

Bob Santelli, Founding Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum, sat with Steve Adubato on “One-on-One” to discuss the recent expansion of the Museum to Newark’s Prudential Center.

“You can actually go into the GRAMMY Museum in Newark and take a drum lesson with Max Weinberg,” Santelli states. Using technology, guests sit at a drum set, and Weinberg, longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen‘s E Street Band, takes you through the beat of “Born in the U.S.A.”

“The museum is really designed to not just celebrate the past,” Santelli states, “but it talks about the creative process and how music is made.”
