Let the music of Charlie Coffeen inspire you to do your best work when the odds are against you in their lovely interpretation of the Dilla Donuts catalog. Whether collaborating with vocalist Marlow Cribbs or performing a live set, Charlie Coffeen gets soulful as a prolific composer and keyboardist from Chicago, best known for his work with Chicago group Sidewalk Chalk.

Every year Charlie puts together an ensemble to pay live tribute to one of his greatest influences - the legendary producer J Dilla. The ensemble performs his most iconic album "Donuts" start to finish. Charlie brought his 12-piece orchestra to our studio to play some of those songs live.

This year, the ensemble will once again perform J Dilla's Donuts live. The show will take place Friday, February 9th at Thalia Hall in Chicago, and will feature some outstanding special guests including Eryn Allen Kane, Chantae Cann, Chris Turner, Sam Trump and Robert "Sput" Searight
