In the summer of 2019- braving
Canadian airspace- Michael commuted to
the North Pole and gave Santa Claus lessons
on The Chapman Stick®. The result was the
popular Billboard charting album, ‘Santa
Plays The Stick’. The album also won
ZMR’s award for Best Holiday Album of
2019 and was heard around the world
thanks to numerous Spotify playlists.
Carrying on with Santa’s affinity for
Christmas music comes ‘The Friendly
Snowman’: a delightful and whimsical
collection of more holiday favorites plus
three new originals by Kollwitz (BMI).

All tracks were recorded exclusively
on Solo Chapman Stick using both the longscale 12 string Grand Stick® model and the
shorter, higher-pitched 12 string Stick
Guitar™ . Add a liberal sprinkling of MIDI
sweeteners and spice to the recipe and you
have a unique one-of-a-kind sound that is
quite unlike any other instrument.
Time to throw a log on the fire, trim
the tree and leave cookies for Santa. Enjoy!
