This year I’m gonna push myself to work in the studio every day. Here’s something I put together last night #vibraphone #percussion #glockenspiel #beats
eclectic weekend ahead!
tonight 5/1 7pm at SMC: Jazz septet led by Theo Saunders
tomorrow 5/2 6pm @groupmuse in Eagle Rock: Folk duo with @heavy_meadow_
Sunday 5/3 6pm and 9pm downtown: Covers 4 Lovers Frank Ocean edition with @slowjamz.co
Have you heard of Joe Hill? The labor activist and songwriter was wrongfully executed over 100 years ago, but his music and story are timeless. My good friend and musical comrade @heavy_meadow_ has been telling Joe’s story over the past few years, but this coming Saturday we present it as a duo for the first time. Join us for our debut show in a beautiful backyard setting in Eagle Rock! See my stories for the link.

Is this the real lobby? @chappymilkshake elevated the pre-show Savvy experience with an in-studio vibraphone concerto 😎 #vibes #vibraphone #bohemianrhapsody #livemusic #savvy
Say hello to my first chromatic set of steel tongue drums! These are the New Wave Symphony drums from @kosmosky.global , a 15-note G major plus a 10-note C# pentatonic, which when combined make 2 complete octaves! I still have a lot of practice to do to develop fluency, but I already love the harmonic freedom this set affords!
Link to the Kosmosky New Wave drums in my bio, and you can also get 10% off with code CHAPPY.
P.S. they are also electroacoustic… I will be demonstrating that soooon as well 😉
