But having a PhD in psychology and leaving a professorship to play and record music? Maybe not so much. <a href=\"http:\/\/michellechappel.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">Michelle Chappel<\/a> was raised in Atlanta, educated at Princeton, and through different teaching opportunities, found her way to UCSC several years ago. She played music as a child, then dropped it to go after her education. Michelle rediscovered it while teaching back east, began recording, teaching less, and started touring, receiving international airplay and awards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/donqs_060516.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6374\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/donqs_060516-150x150.png\" alt=\"donqs_060516\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>She&#8217;s just released her eighth CD, <a href=\"http:\/\/michellechappel.com\/store\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Call Me Crazy&#8221;<\/a> (an intentionally tongue-in-cheek title for a psychologist) and is celebrating it with a release party at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.donquixotesmusic.info\/#Michelle Chappel plus Michael Gaither\" target=\"_blank\">Don Quixote&#8217;s Music Hall<\/a> in Felton on Sunday, June 5th at 7:00pm. This latest record shows her country side, with a mix of upbeat, funny, and inspiring tunes &#8211; which is pretty much where Michelle sits. She&#8217;s invited me to open the night with a 45-min set. (I&#8217;ll be playing lots of new material I&#8217;m honing for my next record.)<\/p>\n<p>Because UCSC was so good to her &#8211; she was voted &#8220;Most Inspirational Professor&#8221; and was allowed the freedom to do music while pulling back her teaching hours &#8211; we&#8217;ve decided to give 20% of our proceeds from the Don Quixote&#8217;s show to KZSC radio.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of radio, Michelle and I are both doing several on-air appearances to promote the show.
