About
David Jonathan & The Inner City Bedlam
David Jonathan & The Inner City Bedlam is a live array of different jazz inspired styles of music that catalogues original social justice. It overflows with tones of social justice reform, love, happiness, and anger of a past that has yet to be repaired. What does the soundtrack of such magnitude, sound like? What does it feel like? What do the history of a people who have endured so much, sound like. It sounds like David Jonathan & The Inner City Bedlam.
Born in Buffalo, NY, drummer, David Jonathan "Teaspoon" Hulett began his music career in the
late 90's. A graduate of the Buffalo Academy of Visual and Performing Arts, he is one of the
most respected, technical drummers of his generation. His articulation and attention to detail
has given him the ability to adapt to many genres of music: from Rock, Pop, Jazz, and R&B, to
Country, Folk, Blues, Celtic, Latin, and World Beat. David has performed at Disney World and
traveled the globe playing music on The Carnival Cruise Line. At just 37 years old, he has
opened for various artists, including En Vogue, EPMD, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Robert Cray.
David has toured with a host of artists, including The Michael Jackson Tribute Tour 2010, The
Black Eyed Peas, T.I., Kendrick Lamar, Sun Ra Arkestra, Dr. Lonnie "B3" Smith, Grammy Award
Nominee Eric Roberson, Philicia Collins of The David Letterman Show, Bobby Jones of BET,
Joseph Wooten and Grammy award-winning pianist George Caldwell. David hopes for the
opportunity to work with artists Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak and Questlove of The Roots.

Boys and Girls Club of Niagara Falls
What a beautiful time we had in 3 counties and 4 cities. These volunteers from the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara Falls came to pick up Turkeys for 15 families in need. Within the first half hour 3 locations were completely out. Shout out to JUST KINGS in Batavia, NY for their help and donations as well as Bray Miller Market for allowing us to use their freezer. We were posted up at the Frank E Merriweather Library, The Richmond Library , The Lockport YMCA, and The Underground Railroad Heritage Museum. Looking forward to the next expansion next year of 200 turkeys. Stay tuned and thank you for your donations and continued support.
