CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: ERIC GALES BAND AT THE IRIDIUM

CABARET TONIGHT IN  NYC: ERIC GALES BAND AT THE IRIDIUM

Eric Gales and his band will perform atIRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Friday & Saturday, August 2nd & 3rd with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Eric Gales grew up in a musical family with four brothers, two of them who learned to play the guitar upside down and left handed in the same fashion that Eric does. Eric's brother Eugene Gales played bass in the Eric Gales Band and his brother Little Jimmy King had a thriving career as a blues artist before his untimely passing. Eric released his first record at Age 16 for Elektra records to an amazing response from the media and music fans around the globe. After recording a second record for Elektra, all three Gales brothers teamed up for The Gales Bros. "Left Hand Brand" which was recorded for the House of Blues label in 1996. As both an African-American left-handed guitarist of extraordinary ability and an expressive vocalist, it is natural for people to compare Eric to copy the Hendrix style, but Eric has developed a unique hybrid blues/rock sound that also draws upon influences as diverse as Albert King and Eric Johnson. There is a $30 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
