FULL CIRCLE MOMENT: Professional musician DeAndre Hemby returned to his hometown of Rockford today. The 2013 Auburn High School graduate reunited with his CAPA teacher Beth Heuer before he takes the stage at the Hard Rock Casino at 7 tonight with Teddy Swims. DeAndre has been the band's drummer since 2022. Heuer taught DeAndre in both jazz band and wind ensemble. DeAndre said, "I didn't choose the drums. The drums chose me." Besides Heuer, DeAndre said his father, who is also a drummer, is a key musical influence. Even though DeAndre has played for 80,000 fans before, he says it's a new feeling for him to be home and performing in Rockford. This will be Heuer's first time seeing her former student put on a show with the band. You can catch an interview with both DeAndre Hemby and Beth Heuer tonight at 6 on WREX.
