Los Angeles-based guitarist and songwriter Jim Vitale has toured the world as a sideman, cut tracks as a session player, and written songs featured on network TV shows. The sideman stepped out as an artist with his 2024 debut album Love And Fate. The album has a Traveling Wilburys-at-Muscle Shoals vibe. Vitale’s sound is distilled from Tom Petty, The Band, Buddy Holly, Lucinda Williams and others that have crisscrossed as inspirations and influences.

Chelsea Williams, Chuck Hailes, and Mark Cassidy make up the captivating trio The Salty Suites. They are known for their energetic performances and ability to cross musical genres, from jazz to pop. Their first official show together was in a high security prison for the criminally insane. Thirteen years, four albums, and a pandemic later, they remain a close-knit dysfunctional family of misfits.
