About

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Sarah Neczwid. I’ve been playing the drums for over 25 years and recording and producing for nearly 20. I was born in New York, grew up in North Carolina, and now live just north of Chicago with my wife and our two sons. I played drum and toured full time in the early 2000s with a band called Far From Nowhere and have been in various bands over the years in both North Carolina and Chicago. In addition to the artists I work with, I currently have called BlackGlass with Silas Mishler and Dan Jarvis, both of the band Diagonal.

In case you were wondering how to say my last name, it’s pronounced “Natch Weed”.

Random facts…

  • I first started gigging with bands when I was 17.
  • Tacos can fix any bad day I am having.
  • I have to eat a gluten free, vegan adjacent diet (I still eat meat).
  • I was a competitive table tennis player when I was a kid.
  • My first job after high school was in tech support for a dial-up internet company.
  • I can’t stand the feeling of foam or lycra fabric. It makes my skin crawl.
  • I keep my fingernails short because I have a fear of bending them backwards.
