Salty Suites with Special Guest Alex Finazzo

Come to the Coffee Gallery, Yes Good Ol Bob's house of tunes and share a night with THE SALTY SUITES. They will be playing and singing their originals and classics in one long set for you. The Salty Suites, Chuck Hailes, Chelsea Williams and Oh yeah,Scott Gates return to the scene of the crime to play hard, sing sweet and rock long at the house of Java...Scott Gates is as close to a musical prodigy on the mandolin as you will ever meet and now plays guitar with the same fire and brilliance. Having… Show more performed all over the country and with artists as varied as John McEuen, Nathan McEuen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Martin and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and a virtual who's who of the bluegrass world, Scott is writing music on his own and is bringing many of these tunes to you. Scott appeared last year on the Ellen Show with Steve Martin, recorded with KennyLoggins on his soon-to-be-released family album, was featured on the Cable TV show Justified with band mate Chuck and toured the US with Nathan McEuen.Partner in this new venture, Chuck Hailes, is one of the top bass players in the country, schooled in classical and jazz bass playing and techniques. Chuck writes his own music and has teamed with Scott to create many new musical gems. With his background in bluegrass music, and degree in the Upright Bass, Chuck sings and plays in a way that is uniquely his own. Chelsea Williams has been writing and performing her own music since she was 13 years old. Chelsea took the stage on her own by the age of 17, performing at clubs and coffee shops. While someof her early songs are still hits with her fans, she has continued to develop as a writer penning nearly 100 original songs to date. Chelsea currently makes her living by playing on the street for tips and selling a home-made demo, having sold thousands of CDs, one-by-one, simply on her own on the street. Her magnetic presence draws them in and her songs set the hook. And please bring both ears so we may fill them with music! Check out The Salty Suites on their Facebook page or at their web sitewww.saltysuites.com. This is a young band to be reckoned with.
