Spotted last night...

So, last night I was out checking out a fabulous group called THE ACOUSTIC SAINTS at a local establishment in the valley, and ran into Joe Retta. 


For those of you who do not know Joe, he is the former (and sometimes) lead singer for QUEEN NATION (Tribute to Queen) here in the Los Angeles area.  Joe has been most recently doing the lead vocal duties with the former UK power group, The Sweet.


It was great to see him after such a long hiatus.  Always unpredictable and great of voice, he sat in the SAINTS for some great unplugged Zeppelin.  It was great to see Stu and Stuart of Heaven and Earth(also one of Joe's projects) and hear of their upcoming record release set for early fall!  Keep and Ear out!!


THE ACOUSTIC SAINTS delivered up some tasty renditions of classic rock, reinvented and thoughtfully arranged.  Featuring a lineup of a "who's who" in the LA and National music scene, the band is Stan Bush on guitar and soaring vocals, Chuck Wight  on acoustic fretless bass and backing vocals (Quiet Riot), and Rick Sailon (Laura Branigan, Jim Messina) who brings violin, mandolin, guitar and backing vocals.  


Listening to the SAINTS with a little RETTA thrown in was such an enjoyable treat.  If you get a chance to catch an ACOUSTIC SAINTS show, Go!



Love,
Michelle
