Mark your calendars now, Curtis Salgado is on the schedule for Lincoln's Zoo Bar Wednesday, Aug. 6, 6-9 p.m.
Dennis Gruenling, Doug Deming and The Jewel Tones have been playing some great gigs in SoCal this past week. They even had Rick Estrin and Little Charlie come out to their Tuesday night gig and sit in.
Little Charlie raved about the band in a Facebook post, writing in part
Tonight I was absolutely blown away by Doug Deming and the Jewel Tones featuring Dennis Gruenling. I had seen Doug and Dennis separately, but never together, and their act is full of energy, lots of great tunes and nice arrangements, and everyone in the band obviously loves what they do.
Pretty cool stuff. Hopefully Dennis, Doug & the boys will be back in the Omaha area in late summer. Meanwhile at the top of the page are a couple tastes of what these cats can do! There's a great 20 minute excerpt from one of their sets here http://youtu.be/5qhBgyGtZGg
And here's another great link. Check out this session with Davina & The Vagabonds, brand new!
