Check out the new Christmas music video from my wife and I (Joe & Linda) featuring my Tumultus trumpet by Klangwerkstatt Martin Böhme!
“Love Is Christmas” by Sara Bareilles is a nontraditional Christmas song that we recently discovered. The message really resonates with us; that the true spirit of Christmas is not about fancy parties, decorations, or gifts. It’s about love, and spending quality time with our loved ones. So, as a refreshing departure from conventional Christmas music, as well as a useful reminder of what’s most important, we present to you our rendition of this beautiful song. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! – J&L

Not to toot my own horn…but…
I’m EXTREMELY honored to announce that I am now a Klangwerkstatt Martin Böhme trumpet artist! 
I met Martin Böhme this past October while searching for a more responsive trumpet and immediately noticed how he had his “shit together.” He is a gifted artisan who is passionate towards his craft, as can clearly be seen/heard in the instruments he builds. Never before in my career had I played a horn that made me stop and say “WOW” after only the first few notes! It is an absolute pleasure to work with Martin and play his exceptional trumpets!

My NEW TRUMPET!!!
I am thrilled to debut my brand new “Tumultus” trumpet from Klangwerkstatt Martin Böhme!!! This is by far the nicest trumpet I’ve ever played/owned; possessing the dark, warm & buttery sound I prefer PLUS the articulate responsiveness I was missing previously. Here are some highlights from when I picked up my Tumultus as well as some information about it and a short demonstration. Enjoy! – JB

My mission is to challenge viewers to look beyond their own perceptions and develop a greater awareness of life, others, and most importantly, themselves.

From my mind & heart to yours – Joe Babiak
Charley Verlaine’s Debut Album “KOMOREBI” (feat. Joe Babiak)
My good friend and super talented singer/guitarist/songwriter, Charley Verlaine, has just released his debut solo album entitled “Komorebi” !!!
I met Charley shortly after moving to Europe and always hoped he and I would work together. Therefore, I was very excited when he asked me to record drums for his album. Charley’s music combines powerful guitar-driven rock with soulful, melodic vocals. On par with his outstanding singing prowess is his extraordinary guitar playing, and his solo chops…GOD DAMN !!!
Be sure to check out his brand new album “Komorebi,” now available on all digital platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc.).
Merci mon ami, I’m happy to have played a part in this great accomplishment of yours! -JB
