Snapsessions! Podcast presents a tribute to John Chamberlin

Legendary musician and artist John Chamberlin was a unique character, from his arrival in Mendocino in the late 1960s until his passing in 2013. His posters, signs, and musical contributions to numerous bands were a huge influence on North Coast culture. Chamberlin would have turned 80 in September, and local podcast Snapsessions! will celebrate him with a tribute

available Sept. 5.

Snapsessions! interviewed musicians, artists, and friends for this salute, including Ellen Callas, Greg Hillman, Kathy O’grady, Judy Frank, Nick Wilson, Lee Larsen White, Richard Fienburgh, Claudia Paige, Louis Callas, Frannie Leopold, Steve Weingarten, and Bob Ross. They discuss his work with Cat Mother, Horse Badorties, The Mark Levine Review and other groups, and reminisce about his amazing artwork. This will be a potpourri of reflections and laughs from friends who knew and loved John.

The episode includes excerpts from some of Chamberlin’s musical performances, such as Cat Mother’s “Love Until Your Heart Breaks,” Horse Badorties’s “Jump,” The Mark Levine Revue’s “Navarro by the Sea,” Lenny Laks’ “Ring

Around the Sun,” and many more surprises.

The tribute will be available from Sept. 5 at thesnapsessions.com. Snapsessions!’s webpage will include links to Chamberlin’s art and his musical adventures with Cat Mother, Horse Badorties, The Mark Levine Revue, Hit & Run Theater’s ORCH, Lenny Laks and others.
