Falcon Underground: Chogni Lama

Posted

. Twenty year old Woodstock-based guitarist/singer/writer/producer Chogyi Lama is a shapeshifter— moving intuitively across genres and styles, embodying whatever he is playing. Sitting in with some of the industry's most inspiring artists, he has come to be known as a remarkable guitar player with elegance, power and humility far beyond his years. While his original songs and Neo-Soul vocals are reminiscent of a young Maxwell or D’Angelo, his guitar playing is fierce yet fluid and his live shows bring out the Funk. Chogyi has been busy producing upcoming talent, nurturing collaborations and working on original music. Most recently, he kicked off the season at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts—the site of the Original Woodstock Festival - where he will return as part of the celebrations, as the grandson of Richie Havens, who opened 1969 Woodstock Festival.
