Yellow Couch Music

Yellow Couch Music is the collaborative project of drummer, composer, and producer Layton Weedeman, an artist rooted in groove, improvisation, and collective creation. Blending jazz, hip-hop, soul, and global influences, the project treats rhythm as a shared language and collaboration as the music itself.

POVEDA

POVEDA is a Brooklyn-based collaboration between Cuban singer-songwriter Roberto Poveda and American drummer/producer Layton Weedeman. Formed after a chance elevator meeting in 2015, the project bridges traditional Cuban folk music with modern influences drawn from jazz, hip-hop, and global rhythms. Rooted in a deep respect for Cuban troubadour traditions, POVEDA reimagines Roberto’s three-decade catalog with contemporary production, giving timeless songs renewed life.

Van Pool

Van Pool is a free-form, transportive project that wanders from tranquil guitar-and-sax undergrowth to bent, piercing intensity, featuring Andy Haas, Omer Leibovitz, Kirk Schoenherr, Ari Folman-Cohen, and Layton Weedeman.

Courtesy Tier
