Joe Sciallo & The Deep End
Presented by Dizzy Charlie's Music & Events at Louie Louie's Piano Bar Colorado Springs, CO
Joe Sciallo & The Deep End bring the blues, whether it’s torching a vintage West Coast jump, or grooving on a jazz boogaloo, or nailing an uptempo modern shuffle. Sciallo brings an authentic touch to the world of instrumental blues and “bluesy” jazz. Think Pee Wee Crayton meets Lou Donaldson, or Hollywood Fats interpreting James Brown…and you’re on the way to getting the Deep End vibe. Holding it all down is drummer Stefan Flores and bassist John Flores, locking in a backbeat that keeps the whole thing cruising down the road at 100 miles per hour. Tonight we also feature Denver's award-winning blues harmonica player Al Chesis. Join us for a night of Chicago and West Coast blues.
