Above: Deep Pockets band. Society Stage, Telluride Jazz Festival, Colorado. 13 August 2022. The kid on the guitar plays fabulously. I chatted with his dad while at the performance. The kid with the hat is playing cow bell. Carter. He's the other drummer. Caleb Chapman bands have two drummers who each play have the numbers of any given gig. We talked to Carter's parents and learned that Carter is a senior, so this is his last year with Caleb Chapman. Carter is putting in his papers to go on an LDS mission.
