The Hold my Beer Band began innocently enough at a Farmer’s Market in Oracle Arizona.  Sue & Jerry’s Trading Post hosts this popular local event every Wednesday evening during the Spring and Summer, then winterizing at the end of October.  The trading post always features a food vendor, local arts and crafts vendors and folks selling their fruits in various forms as well as tasty treats!

They also feature a band playing for 3 hours on a lighted stage and a dirt dance floor.  Jerry is a busy guy setting up then cleaning up each and every Wednesday.  He even hoses down the dance floor to keep the dust down.  Well, it turns out Oracle Az is only 12 miles away from San Manuel Az.  So Ron Chilston & his girlfriend Carla began attending the farmer’s market to listen to music, chow down and best of all, BYOB!  One Wednesday, an older gentleman and his son were playing guitars and singing/harmonizing as a duo, (duh . . .).  When they played “Silver Wings” and the younger “Rocky” took the solo, it was your typical 8 bar solo then he took it kind of bluesy jazzy sideways that Ron really responded too.  “Whoa” were the words out of Ron’s mouth.  After the song, he approached the stage, drop some cash into their tip jar and said “you guys could really use a bass player”.  Frank, the older Martinez asked, “Do you play bass?”
Ron, “Well, I played keyboard bass and many other synthesizer instruments with a previous band in Jerome called Mountain Stranded Time.”  As Ron was leaving to go have a seat with Carla, Frank announces from the stage “Folks, meet our new bass player”.

Anyway, you can probably smell what we’re stepping in here.  Ron got the job after a brief tryout/jam session and has been learning to play country licks ever since.  Come on by the Spirit Room and Welcome Ron & Carla back to the area and listen to the song stylings of the “Hold My Beer Band!

Cadillac Angels

 

 

 

Growing up with no computer, cell phone, Ipod or even a television, is just not that common anymore, anywhere, but for Tony Balbinot, bandleader and singer/songwriter, guitarist for the Cadillac Angels, that’s exactly how it was. Born in a small, rural farm town in Illinois, in a house without even a television, only a radio and an old record player, Tony’s connection to the big music world was limited to WLS Radio out of Chicago and used 45 rpm records from a jukebox in a diner where his single mother was a waitress.  Musical influences varied widely from Johnny Horton to Jimmy Reed, and when his small family packed up and moved to California the spectrum widened and bloomed.  With Tony’s growing interest in electric guitar, Link Wray, Dick Dale, BB King, and John Fogerty began to heat up his second hand stereo and his fingers.

Midwestern roots combined with a western migration spawned the guitar driven  musical and songwriting style that makes the Cadillac Angels music so special. Now, with over a million miles of touring, and over ten full length original CDs, the band has toured most of the USA and over seven countries in Great Britain and Western Europe. Their first recordings won them “Best Roots Demo” at Austin’s prestigious South by Southwest Music Conference, and their songs have been featured in major full length films as well as commercials.

The Gretsch Guitar Company recognized Tony’s talents and awarded him an artists endorsement. He was invited to perform at Gretsch’s 125th year anniversary celebration, where he shared the stage with legends, Dick Dale, Billy Gibbons, and Jimmie Vaughn.  Tony’s picture now hangs in the Gretsch Hall of Fame in Scottsdale, AZ right between Chet Atkins and Brian Jones. Not bad for a country boy from Illinois!

The Cadillac Angels have never caved to musical fads or commercial pressure. They have elected to remain a trio, feeling that the honest sound of one electric guitar, bass and basic drums best suits the integrity of their style…a style born out of the American heartland, traveling the world, yet still their music rings true Rock and Roll…American music.
