A.J. Chiarella

If you’re involved in the music scene in Westchester County then you know A.J. Chiarella. From his band Shakeout to his multifaceted organization the Donck, A.J. spreads music in old school, DIY fashion. He joins us this week to talk about his music scene, making a two-man band sound like a four piece and avoiding burnout during quarantine.

• Head to Shakeout's website for music, videos and merch (including that sweet Slayer style shirt).

Here is Shakout's video for "Heart":
