Miscegenated Rhythms

Courtesy of the Band

When eight culturally diverse band members merge their individual talents from three distinct genres, the result is an intriguing sound of "miscegnating" rhythms, intoning messages of peace, love, and unity.

Coming across televised coverage of Sidewalk Chalk, here’s a look at a standout band with great horns, compelling vocals, keys, strings, and more.

Band Members: Rico Sisney (MC), Maggie Vagle (Vocals), Charlie Coffeen (Keys), Josh Rosen (Bass), Xavier Breaker (Drums), Jumaane Taylor (Taps), Sam Trump (Trumpet), and David Ben-Porat (Trombone).
