You could draw thousands of lines on a map of America that preceded the beginnings of Sally Baby’s Silver Dollars; strands that zigzag across the earth from New York to San Francisco to Standing Rock. Yet each line inevitably leads back to one place- New Orleans.Sal Geloso has been living and playing music in New Orleans for over 17 years, and his music echoes through the street corners to the coffee shops, bar rooms and fire-lit swamps. Sal’s songbook is a rich aural tradition that traces a history of friendships, love and loss, and embodies the boldness of living a life that puts art at the complete forefront of existence.
Sally Baby is backed by his Silver Dollars, a band comprised of collaborators and friends who are all in-demand musicians in and outside of New Orleans. They each bring an area of expertise that breathes further life into Sal’s music, fleshing out the influences of Early Jazz, New Orleans RnB and Brass Band music. They are: Zach Serlet (Bass), Jesse Armeding (drums, Steve DeTroy (Keys), Nathan Wolman (trumpet), Oliver Tuttle (Trombone) and James Beaumont (saxophone). Together, the band placed silver in the 2024 Tiny Desk Competition with their video for the song ‘I’ve Got No More Tears Left To Cry’, and the song was featured on NPR’s national show ‘Morning Edition’, along with an interview with Sal.
Along with national recognition, Sally Baby has had a surge of local popularity and was featured at both the French Quarter Festival and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The band will also be touring extensively in the summer, with notable Shows at High Sierra Music festival and the Oregon County Fair, alongside double bills with The California Honeydrops and Sierra Ferrel.
Sally Baby’s Silver Dollars made their rousing Creative Alliance debut at Crankie Festival 2023.
