Does the stage at 54 Below fit a 6-piece band including percussion? Barely!!
But the orchestrations and arrangements by @elibaumgarten couldn’t have had any less 💙
I had a ton of fun last week laying down some percussion for @earthastillhereshow starring @thommigross - It’s the closest I will ever get to playing with the real Eartha Kitt! 🐱🦇

Just a few moments this year that made it the best trip around the sun I’ve ever had. From becoming an uncle to celebrating personal and professional milestones, from the relaxing vacations to the times I felt that 8 hours of sleep was an urban legend, 2025 has given me the most vast experiences I’ve had in my life so far. Thank you to my favorite calendar year yet to happen ❤️🎊 by @chris_natale0

Last night I had the privilege of accompanying Yuri Yamashita (@yu.rhythm.perc) for her solo concert at Players Theatre! It was the most fun and biggest challenge, especially with our duo arrangement of Yatra-Tá, but extremely rewarding 🤩
This morning Yuri leaves to tour with the world-renowned David Byrne, and I’m incredibly happy to be covering her leave of absence at @bwaygatsby while she is away! As she proved countless times and *especially* last night, I have really big shoes to fill while she is gone 🥴🥰
Thank you Yuri for being a really big inspiration and the kindest soul, we will miss you - see you soon !! 💚 by @chris_natale0
