Additional projects
Currently in production
-
'Uncommon Folk', a New York City-based project has been Chatwood's main focus (other than The Tea Party) since 2006. The goal of the project is to raise awareness about misophonia (see also Sensory Processing Disorder). The music has a therapeutic character, in the style of ambient/folk songs, with a focus on down regulation and relaxation. Numerous vocalists have contributed to the recording of about 26 songs over 11 years for this project, including Glen Campbell, Mavis Staples, Jakob Dylan, Robin Zander and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Vocals and strings were recorded for this project in New York City, The Hamptons, Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix, Wales, Toronto and Vancouver. The first single "This Land is Your Land" featuring Glen Campbell was released in August 2017. The Mavis Staples song as well as the full album are being prepared for expected release in 2018.

'Unnamed Project' with Toronto-based bilingual singer Tecla Burey. In November 2017 this project was considered a work in progress with an open ended completion and distribution date.
Completed projects with undetermined release dates

'Songs from the Chapel' with Jeff Burrows of The Tea Party, Crash Karma and The S'Aints, Todd Kerns of Slash/The Age of Electric and Ryan Dahle of Limblifter/The Age of Electric. The collaboration produced about 20 ideas and eight or nine recorded songs. The project stalled but Ryan Dahle was responsible for mixing the tracks and they may yet emerge.
-
'Art Decay' with Toronto vocalist Kent Leggatt and Jeff Burrows, reportedly influenced by the sounds of both Nick Cave and Echo and the Bunnymen. An EP may be released in 2018.
