At age 16 Bobby Vega began his professional music career as a bassist with Sly and the Family Stone. He has worked with Jerry Garcia, Tower of Power, Santana, Steve Kimock Band, Etta James, and many, many others. Chris Rossbach (Zigaboo Modeliste, Brigitte DeMeyer), is a legendary Bay Area guitarist, a musician's musician whose taste, melodies, and phrasing are unparalleled. Exploring a realm of groove, Americana, jazz, and funk as kindred souls, these two masters show off acoustic chops with intimate, contemplative, and even joyous melodies that hit you as deep as their ineffable sense of groove.
