Since today is the longest day of the year 🌞 maybe you have time to go and purchase tix for my show on July 8th 🙈 where I will be playing lots of notes on the trumpet. Hopefully I can find the right ones!

This excerpt is from my song "Fortune Teller" from a rehearsal in February.

Hope to see you! by @echiltonmusic

Playing a lot with my live band this year! While practicing I often make short demos to help me come up with ideas and get familiar with the harmony. This is an untitled waltz I wrote last November, which I will likely perform this summer. Recorded live on camera, no overdubbing or miming.

Thank you for listening! by @echiltonmusic

This Friday! I can't express how grateful I am to these musicians for bringing these songs to life! These compositions feel like the most authentic expression of myself I've put out there before.

Dream Machine returns Friday at 8 pm (time has been pushed slightly later.. we start at 8 now!)
