Joseph Paul Seiders (born 1979 or 1980) is an American former touring/session multi-instrumentalist and convicted sex offender. He is best known as the drummer and backing vocalist for The New Pornographers from 2014 to 2025, when he was fired after being arrested for possession of child pornography. Primarily a drummer, Seiders also sings, plays keyboards, accordion, and guitar. Seiders was born in Winchester, Massachusetts, and grew up in Derry, New Hampshire, attending Pinkerton Academy. Having a father who also played drums, he developed an interest in the drum kit at a very young age. He was also classically trained on piano from the age of five. He has toured, recorded, and worked with a variety of artists, including The New Pornographers, Neko Case, Emitt Rhodes, John Oates, Tracy Bonham, Juliana Hatfield, Chris Mann, Gary Jules, Bleu, Josh Kaufman, Night Terrors of 1927, Val McCallum, among many others.
