Check out the home page on Young's site. Who do you think it is tearing it up on the back of the Chris Craft, "Sophie"? That's right, folks. We're sea-faring musicians...legends in our own minds!

Over the Edge & Blame Sally Concert at Sierra Ridge Vineyards / Saturday, June 19, 2010 ~ Doors open at 6 PM
The four women who comprise "Blame Sally" will bring their considerable talent to this concert. Combine that with "Over the Edge" music and this becomes a 'don't miss event'!
Over the Edge is proud to announce the dynamic pairing of our band and the phenomenal all women's quartet from San Francisco.

Blame Sally is a unique collective of four distinct voices and musical backgrounds. Blame Sally has forged a compelling and original sound that has earned the band the well-deserved reputation as “Bay Area phenomenon”.

Recently signing a five year mid-six figure record deal, the band's spirited, take-no-prisoners attitude is a welcome contrast to traditional folkie navel-gazing, and the band has the songs, chops and pipes to back up their tough talking, clear-minded folk rock.

In May, 2009 the band released Night of 1000 Stars, produced by Grammy nominated producer, Lee Townsend. As they have always done, Blame Sally uses personal and topical issues to fuel their powerful songwriting and jubilant ensemble musicianship. Whether through the anguished voice of an Afghan war veteran, the cancer survivor finding some humor in new age bromides or the woman who’s passion comes on like a summer thunderstorm, each track on Night of 1000 Stars is rich with authenticity and emotion.

"One of the finest Americana bands in the country right now, like a folkbased U2." San Diego Troubadour

“The band’s four-part harmonies should not be missed. Don’t blame us if you’re the last on your block to check out Blame Sally.” Mare Wakefield, Performing Songwriter.

"Beautiful harmonies, intricate instrumental work, smart lyrics, and gently energized rhythms mark the songs of this San Francisco-based folk-pop quartet...and together they create soulful, complex,finely crafted music." - Editor's Pick, Downloads.com

"These people are not only fine songwriters and strong musicians, but lovely human beings as well" Lee Townsend, Producer

"Collectively they create multihued sonic and emotional tapestries, recalling the artful romanticism of Jane Siberry, the rich folk harmonies of the Indigo Girls and the percolating soulfulness of Joy of Cooking" San Francisco Chronicle.

Website: Blame Sally

Tickets: BBQ & Concert: $30. General Admission: $15.00 and you'd be smart to save the date now. This promises to be among one of the premier concerts in Amador County for 2010.

Thanks fans, family and friends,

Dave, Adam and Joe
