Come out to Gunni's Italian!

Posted by jazztothebone on Saturday, June 18, 2011 In : Jazz

For all of you who live west of the beltway, I am excited to tell you about this new restaurant in Manasas, Gunni's Italian Restaurant. I will be playing there on Tuesday nights from 6 - 9 in a jazz duo with Christian Perez, guitar. Come on out and enjoy the best service in town with some amazing food and wine as well. It will be fun to watch, as a duo always makes the musicians work hard. I will be doubling on bass, and Christian is bringing his loop pedal. Lots of fun!
