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

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.
