HANNAH ELSIE CHAPMAN
http://www.soundcloud.com/hannahelsiechapman
Known for her multi-faceted artistic expression and fearless individuality, emerging musician, photographer and actress Hanna Elsie Chapman is just as likely to capture imagery through her lens and jump into character as she is to compose a piece of music. Angelic and hypnotic, bold and melodic… Chapman challenges her listeners to see ones vulnerability in lifes fleeting moments . “I am always absorbed in some medium of person-to-person communication. Striving for artistic expression is like burning into nothingness during atmosphere re-entry; vulnerable, risky, terrifying and necessary” says Chapman. Make sure to arrive in time to see Hannah kick the night off at 8:30!
Hannah Elsie Chapman – Piano, Vocals
Neal Chapman – Guitar

The coolest part of the UD Self, Community, and Society in the 21st Century Living and Learning Community this year…
From discussions on religion and social media, the C21 LLC turned our attention to entertainment, music, identity, and techniques of the use of social media in our community. On Tuesday, October 29th from 6:30-8:30pm the members of C21 met with local Dayton musicians in the Science Center Auditorium. What is Dayton music like? How do local musicians share information about their music, concerts, and other events? We learned that the independent music scene in the Miami valley is not only incredibly diverse and active but that they use social media and traditional media to share information with the larger community.
Speakers included:
Burris Dixon, Me & Mountains, Swim Diver
Tom Gilliam, The Rebel Set, TCB Hit Squad
Andy Ingram, Kris N., Poptek Records
M. Ross Perkins, Goodbye, Esther Caulfield Orchestra
Liz Rasmussen, Good English
Tifani Tanaka, Dear Fawn
Tod Weidner, Motel Beds, Shrug
We will be playing tons of great indie and alternative holiday music on December 17th! Join Dr. J and Mrs. Dr. J who will have a guest in the studio, The Rebel Set‘s Tom Gilliam! We are also very excited about other special guests.
There have been many new holiday songs by artists such as The Old 97s,The Connells, The Killers, Sufjan Stevens, Holley Maher, Elenowen, Fiction Family,The Rosebuds, little hurricane, Bright Eyes, Nick Lowe, and many more.
We are also expecting some very exciting live performances of some indie and classic holiday songs.
