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.

We are excited to have multi-instrumentalist Franco Campanello hosting our Open Mic this Thursday! The concept of the open mic has been around for decades and can encompass comedy, poetry and obviously music and more. Well, we do focus on music, but there have been evenings at our open mic where we have slam poets and beat artists show up.
Just bring your favorite guitar, harmonica, bass, drums, congas, bongos, synthesizer and sunglasses and join us this Thursday evening from 7-10 and let’s make some music!
Putting the “Rascal” back in Rock, Greasy McGhee is a homegrown, all original band with a truckload of swagger!
Greasy McGhee features Nick James Michael adding vocals and the kind of lead guitar that just begs for some deep listening. Mike “King Daddy” Morris on vocals, harmonica, percussion and rhythm guitar. Michael McDonald is featured on bass and vocals with Matt Bell, the drummer for the band formerly known as the “Knuckleheads” rounding out this fabulously talented foursome featuring all original tunes.
That’s right, while it seems most folks were doubled up in the fetal position during covid, we were all busy writing music! Now it’s your turn to come out and support singer/songwriting artists performing live.
