Jazzmyn is hitting the road! We will be joining the stunning Davis & Haleigh @davisandhaleigh in Birmingham at Elysian Gardens @elysiangardensbirmingham .
We feel it is auspicious to be uniting forces with another group that, like us, crosses cultural and genre boundaries, and creates something of its own. Also, we are excited to check out what Birmingham is like! Where should we eat? What should we see? Let us know! 👇

Love Me Not —This one’s for anyone who’s ever held in the tears, and asked the question no one wants to say out loud.
This is the third single from my Country Carnatic project — where country soul meets Carnatic heart — a genre-bending journey I’ve been crafting with some incredible artists.
Yes, I just wrapped my debut as a film composer (thank you for the love!) but Country Carnatic is back and stronger than ever. This movement is just getting started… and I’ll be sharing more soon.
For now, stream “Love Me Not” wherever you listen to music. 🎧 Link in bio.
Palace intrigue vibes ✨👑 We took some fun photos recently, let’s introduce our current lineup!
On drums, in the yellow shirt we have Will Shine. On bass, wearing the hat we have Nate Lee. On keys, in the blue shirt we have Michael Solomon. And finally on guzheng and dizi, wearing the purple shirt, we have Vicki Lu!
We’re Jazzmyn, a cross-cultural jazz ensemble. We stitch together the past, present, and future, honoring our American & Chinese cultural heritage and creating something brand new.
We’re currently working on a new EP, and we have an eponymous debut album already released - Jazzmyn. You can stream it everywhere. And, please do! We’d love for you to hear it 🌸
Anyway, back to the palace intrigue 👑 Now that you know everyone, how do you think this court drama is shaking out? Who is winning the favor of the emperor and set to inherit the throne? Who is skilled at plotting and scheming? Who’s winning favor through winsome magnetism? Who will succumb to poison? Who will DO the poisoning??? Comment below and we’ll keep you updated on how the palace intrigue is developing 👇

See y’all at @normaltownbrewingco this evening for #MFFJ. Killer houseband tonight featuring @jlclaybourne_drums in from #ATL on drums. I’ll be hitting a guitar and seeing what sounds come out, but rest assured, we gonna get #funky.
Listen #AthensGA: if ever there was a night to come out downtown to party and get your groove on, this coming #FridayNight (MAY 1) is 💯% that night. We gonna be celebrating my dude @gnarly.g ‘s 50th birthday BIG at @livewire_athens with a slammin’ live band, @eatbaddies burgers, and plenty of 🥃🍹🍸flowing. Tickets for this special night are available in advance (cheaper than at the door) via the link in this photo. Let’s celebrate this local #SaxMan legend right!
Athens!! What a delight. A night full of listening and thoughtful collaboration 🙏
Drummer, Singer & FatBack Collective mastermind Will Shine put together a really killer band of Athens talent that was willing to play a bunch of original music with no rehearsal, and they ALL rocked it.
I didn't know any of them before the gig (except didgeridoo extraordinaire Will MacGavin, coincidentally) and it was such a pleasure meeting & sharing the stage with these fine folks:
@gnarly.g@inkleined@eo_keys@wtonks@zachbstone@macgavinwoodworks
And the man himself: @itswillshine
We had such a great time & I can't wait to be back. Everybody in the audience was also a great listener and half of them were killer players themselves. Thanks to @dead_beat_athens
for hosting.
The FatBack Collective will ride again! If you want this or something like this in your town let me know! Let's make it happen. 🎸

I always want y’all to come out to the #MondayFundayFunkJam at @normaltownbrewingco , but this week it would be extra swell if you came and helped me celebrate the beginning of my 38th trip around the sun.
