2016 Summer Patio Tour

Summer is in all its glory and so are the fellas of Malphonia, Cleveland’s rock star neutral musical ensemble and leading advocates of the open carry of instruments.

CHA Independence Day party

Malphonia had the pleasure of sharing the CHA outdoor stage for the July 3 party. Our principal brassist played one handed and recorded a video selfie with the other. Here’s an excerpt of the perennial favorite “Brazil”

Tremont Artwalk hosts Malphonia

Cleveland’s longest running artwalk will be the setting for our latest rock-star neutral performance.
