That’s So Philly, a local organization and website that showcases musical talent of local teens, has been getting some help recently from established local musicians to collaborate with teens. The first “Sing With A Philly Teen” initiative featured singer-songwriter Ben Arnold who collaborated with Arin Edelstein on an original song that you can listen to here. Recently Dean Sabatino, drummer for the Dead Milkmen collaborated on an improvised drum duet with 18-year-old Brandon Coklay.

Coklay grew up playing the drums at home and in church. He goes to Upper Darby High School where he is a member the marching band and indoor drumline, playing snare. Listen to the duet, recorded at Kawari Sound, below.
