THE SOUTH BAY SLIDE GUITAR MASTER RETURNS!

*** DAVE MELTON ***


A long time stalwart of the So Cal Blues scene, Dave Melton has earned his reputation as one of the fieriest gun slingers in town. It is a damn crime that he's still nationally awell kept secret. The entire world should know about his slide playing, as it is literally second to none. Melton has played with a who's who of characters on the So Cal circuit and is prepared to throw down some heat-seeking missiles on this very special night!

CELEBRATED MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST

FINALLY COMES TO THE SUGAR MILL!

*** JEFF TURMES ***

Just in terms of sheer quantity - number of instruments played, miles logged, artists backed up, shows and sessions performed, and songs composed - Jeff Turmes is remarkable. And then there’s the QUALITY of what he does — the sound, the vintage style, the personality that informs his music. Since early 2007 Jeff has also toured as bassist, sax player, and slide guitarist with the legendary Mavis Staples. Also an award winning songwriter, Turmes is a fantastic slide player too and he was one of the main inspirations for this epic night!

VERSATILE GUITAR GURU MAKES DEBUT!

*** BOBBY ROBLES ***

One of the most exciting and versatile guitarists on ANY circuit, Robles can be found backing a multitude of legendary R&B, jazz or blues artists with equal effortless ability. We saw him playing with 50's R&B band Thee Midnighters and were completely floored by his soulful chops. This will be Bobby's debut at the Sugar Mill and we couldn't think of a more exciting way to bring him into the family!
