Dave Gleason is a legendary fixture on the West Coast Honky Tonk/Americana circuit since the early 1990's. A recent move placed him in Nashville, TN. where Dave just finished a new Kenny Vaughan produced album featuring The Fabulous Superlatives due out in 2013. With four albums of his own to his credit (and countless lead guitar sessions for other artists), Gleason has shared the stage with Rodney Crowell/Marty Stuart's Fabulous Superlatives/Jim Lauderdale/Rosanne Cash/Charlie Louvin/ Albert Lee/Bill Kirchen/ X and Deke Dickerson to name just a few. Dan Forte from Vintage Guitar Magazine says of Dave Gleason's latest album "Turn And Fade"...'Throughout, Gleason's offers enough new wrinkles to stake his claim as more than merely another “new traditionalist.” Dave Gleason has returned from Nashville back to Los Angeles.

Hot Club of Los Angeles plays gypsy jazz, a style of music pioneered by the Belgian guitar virtuoso and composer Django Reinhardt (1910-1953). The seven members of the Hot Club of Los Angeles are all esteemed southern California-based musicians with backgrounds as sidemen and band leaders in a wide array of musical styles, including jazz, blues, country, rockabilly, jump blues, pop, rock, folk and various forms of world music. When these players come together to perform as the Hot Club of Los Angeles, they draw inspiration from Django's group, the Quintette du Hot Club de France and the array of other great gypsy jazz musicians who laid the groundwork for this infectious musical genre that continues to entrance audiences today.
