Ep 52: How to Make it In Business with Jon Chalden
Today’s guest is Jon Chalden (@jonchalden on instagram.) A dynamic, witty, cynical, intelligent and very underrated drummer friend of mine who is one of the smartest and hardest workers I know. I’ve watched him do well for SO many years, and I’ve been dying to get some real unfiltered knowledge from him on what makes him tick, and how he makes it work. Here are some facts on Jon:
Jon Chalden has been playing professionally for over 35 years. After graduating from the nationally-recognized jazz program at Decatur (IL) MacArthur High School directed by Jim Culbertson, he cut his teeth in various Midwest rock, jazz, and R&B acts, honing a very song-oriented style that has created an in-demand schedule of live and studio dates.
Currently he is on the road with singer/songwriter Nathan Angelo and regularly performs with the legendary Rupert’s Orchestra. Outside of those commitments, Jon also maintains a busy schedule of sessions and freelance live dates.
Jon is the co-host of the Drummer’s Weekly Groovecast podcast and curator of the ATL Drummer Tributes, celebrating iconic drummers with live shows featuring the A-list of Atlanta musicians.
He has performed and/or recorded with Chuck Berry, Sheryl Crow, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Aaron Shust (including the 2007 Dove Awards Song Of The Year “My Saviour, My God”), Steve Fee, Candi Pearson-Shelton, Oliver Wood of the Wood Brothers, Babbie Mason, Francine Reed, Brian Culbertson, Michael Gleason, Citizen Cope, Tom Grose, Kristian Stanfill, R. Scott Bryan, Sylvain Sylvain of The New York Dolls, Alfreda Gerald, Ryan Horne, Chris Unck, Tracy Hamlin, North Point Community Church, The Beggars' Guild, A1A, Peachtree Presbyterian Church, Vineyard USA, Dana Blackwood, Kid's Stuff, ReThink, Turner Networks, Ford Motor Company, Toyota and many others.
What's New:
Susan broke her toe and has been limping around in a boot for a few weeks. She's not thrilled.
Leo, our pet fish, has taken up a new hobby: Playing dead. It's a little unnerving, and he's punked everyone in the house now, so we know his antics. Click below to see his mad skills!
