Our next focus of People Who Made The El P Possible is none other than the legendary @michaelwynar . We were honored and blessed to get this fella to lend us some of his beautiful guitar work on the burner track ā€œCaliforniaā€. We first encountered Michael waaaay back in the Porter Dining Hall at UCSC in 1998! He was playing with the incredibly talented Mike Park in Sages of Memphis. He then went on to drive the force that was Albino!/Strike Iron @strikeironband . He has been part of countless insane jazz and funk and soul projects, and he’s a top shelf music educator on top of it all. (For all you guitarists out there, let his playing be the example of how goddamn important your right hand can be. Michael’s rhythm and meter and groove and feel is truly second to none!!) We love you, Mike! So thankful to have you on this epic creation and look forward to continuing forward.

Today in People Who Made The El P Possible, we turn our loving eyes to the singular and extraterrestrial AJ McKinley @ajmckinleymusic AJ lent his unreal and otherworldly guitar skills to Flower Case, and you’d have just as much success transcribing Coltrane’s ā€œCountdownā€ solo as AJ’s master class on this one. We first encountered AJ playing in the mighty @battlehooch . He can now be seen playing in the incredible @suzanimal_sf , @thebandconbrio , and @kingdreammusic . He also often accompanies his insanely talented sister @kendra_mckinley . He was also the original guitarist player in @jimihendrix and @ericclapton (jk). Go check out all of his amazing projects. Enjoy the beautiful work he did in our record. And try not to love this human. It’s impossible.

Up next in our ongoing series of People Who Made The El P Possible is a true legend. A human who defies all categories with such intensity that many wonder ā€œis he human at all…or maybe he’s one of those aliens from They Live?ā€ We don’t believe so but we will never know. He is the gift to the world @scotty.maxx Scott Makson. Scotty has deep roots with the El Duo duo. Randy and Scotty met back in music school at UCSC. But more importantly Scotty has been a core member of @harry_and_the_hitmen for over 75 years. Most importantly he is the one man bohemoth known as @scotty.maxx Known to destroy the dance floor and campsites armed with blu blockers and a Nintendo power glove, he will show you the way. And the way is glorious. Scotty is featured on trumpet on two tracks on The El P. He’s kind. He’s hysterical. He’s humble. He’s one of the best damn musicians you will ever meet, and he even knows the science behind modular synths. Unicorn. Goddamn šŸ¦„ We love you, Scotty.

After a brief hiatus, we are back with a new installment of People Who Made The El P Possible featuring the magnificent Ryan Jalbert @jalbatross . Jalbert provided his fancy fingers on an epic solo on the track ā€œSinclairā€. Jalbert’s main gig is his long tenure playing lead guitar in @themotet and leading up his solo project Jalbatross. He and I first met back in 2009 in the @brettdennen touring band. Ryan wore his Masshole t-shirt one day, and it was love at fourth site. (We also both participated in what is widely believed to be the greatest sound check of all time) Jalbert’s guitar skills are truly insane. He seamlessly brings so much skill and knowledge of different guitar styles into his playing. He operates as a bit of a chameleon, yet somehow every version of every style is unique and sweeter than any version you’ve ever heard. He’s also one of the kindest and funniest humans on the planet. Love ya, dude. Thanks for contributing.

Next up on People Who Made The El P Possible is the brilliant and beautiful Levi Dii Martin @levidiisounds To know this human is to love this human. He has an inherent warmth and calm in his soul. His playing can pivot from gentle, gorgeous pads to staggering rhythmic complexity to Shreddy Krueger all in one measure. We both played with Dii in the mighty @sunhopfat where his dexterous and insane skills were always on tap. He also wrote some of the most ambitious and ear worm-y tunes that are still a significant part of the bands repertoire. Dii contributed his skills to two tracks on The El P, and we love him for his incredible contributions. Love ya, buddy!!

Up next on People That Made The El P Possible is none other than the most beautiful man this side of the Mississippi….Jeremy Greene. Jeremy contributed sax solos, layers, and textures to two distinct tracks on The El P, and his voice gives them both a deep and loving warmth with his instantly recognizable tone. Jer has been in and around the Bay Area his whole life, growing up in the North Bay, and spending most of his adult life in the east bay. We both play with him in the legendary @sunhopfat He’s also played in a ton of bay based projects, notably @forrestday @vgnationalpark and @lostdogfound Jeremy has by far the best hair in any room he chooses to occupy, but his gentle and kind heart are always an absolute gift to be around. His sax playing is versatile, incredible, and insanely inspiring. We love you, Jer. Side note: one of my favorite stories of all time if Jeremy’s story about running away from home as a kid and ending up at the Birkenstock factory. Make sure to ask him about it next time you see him. šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™
