The Wicked Hangin Chads is a musical experiment gone awry. What started as a band made up for a home-made play has turned into a full-fledged sensory experience. Spanning a wide spectrum of musical styles from Reggae and Ska to Alternative and Psychedelic Rock the band fuses Vedic philosophy with electric groove music to tantalize the ears and energize the body.
The band’s lineup to date consists of Rick Chadwick, vocals and guitar; Celia Markey, vocals and keys; Cole Chadwick, vocals and drums; Jafar Manselle, percussion; Taylor Migner, trumpet; Gabe Weiss, bass; and Hitomi Taguchi, trumpet.
