Drummer Sam Fogarino, member of the New York indie rock band Interpol, took time after his pre-tour rehearsal to sit and share his life and musical experiences with Road Recovery's teens at their rehearsal studio.

From the rough neighborhoods in West Philadelphia which exposed him to the real world, in addition to his mom's never ceasing support to pursue his dream of playing music, Sam Fogarino was provided with the strength he needed to realize his success. His message to the teens revealed that one can determine his or her own success by how happy one can be, not by the wealth or status one accumulates.
Filled with gratitude for what his tenacity has shown him, Sam Fogarino extended a hand to Road Recovery's youth; all of whom have faced life's challenges against all odds and now are all examples of true success.

"Road Recovery is incredible…they are a Godsend. Road Recovery's programs pan all the creative arts and couple them with the support of the medical world. The marriage of the two is a template that can be applied in helping people overcome any issue for anyone!"

That's pretty great! Stuff like this is why I consider Sam the most outgoing member. Just comes across as a good guy.

Had the pleasure in sitting directly across from Sam's family three years ago when Pol played in Atlantic City. It was just great watching his family really get into the show. Sam's parents and his cousin were very sweet.

May 2011 Road Recovery participants were invited down to Asbury Park, NJ for a Master Class with Interpol drummer, Sam Fogarino before their show. Participants got to watch the soundcheck, meet the band, and hear some inspiring words from Sam.
