About Me

Patchwork Monkey has been evolving since 2003. The interplay of acoustic and electric guitars is subtle and intricate. Emotive and beautiful vocals make the covers sound fresh and original songs unique. Patchwork Monkey was honored to have it's cover of "A Day in the Life" chosen by MMM Radio to be on it's tribute album to the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album 40 year anniversary. Patchwork Monkey has been an elusive creature, playing private parties and fundraisers. But recently, there have been sightings at venues in the Madison area, including Madison Music Foundry, The Frequency, Mr. Robert's and Escape Coffee Gallery. Venture carefully into the nocturnal wilds of Madison, and you, too, might just catch a glimpse of this delightful and beautiful Patchwork Monkey band.

And the gentlemen on strings

Patchwork Monkey is like a knot of strings. The tightness that is woven by longtime guitar duo Alec Stanley (Al Khemia) and Thomas Yellowfeather (Zen Cats) is a web that ensnares the listner. Ben Jo...
