This is one ya'll don't wanna miss, so mark your calendars now for Saturday November 19th and join us for The Vallures very first appearance at the Chef's "Evening in Shangri-La" event.
Here's a little more info...
The Vallures are five ladies and one gentleman who are giving the hits of the sixties a fresh new face. Bringing girl group era Motown, rock, soul, rhythm and blues, to life once again with new twists and all the energy and creativity of the originals. ...Although the focus is on the girl group covers The Vallures are all from very diverse musical backgrounds (everything from punk to salsa) and this reflects in song choice and style. Jes Franco (ex Coinslot lead vocalist) put the group together in March of twenty ten in an effort to play music she loved while featuring women as musicians. Backed by Libby (keys) Danielle (drums) Bryce (bass) and Meredith (guitar) along with Laura (backup vocals and percussion) add to their ‘wall of sound’. The live show has got it all; the songs you love as well as rare gems you can’t believe you’ve never heard. Don’t forget about the eyeliner, coordinated dresses, big hair and heels baby. The Vallures are alright, uptight, outta’ sight and will have you singing and dancing all night!
Don't forget there's a new food and drink menu and happy hour specials in the bar as well. Saturday night the drink special is (4) Tiki Shot Glasses $11 or $30 filled with house shots. So come on out, have some pupus, a tropical libation or two and enjoy the Rockin' R&B sounds of The Vallures!
Stay tuned for this months FREE raffle items coming soon!!!!!
