We are pleased to announce that Laith Al-Saadi will be joining us on Saturday, May 2nd at 9:00 PM in the Parliament room for 3 of the most amazing sets. If you have not seen Laith play live you are in for a real treat.

With the show scheduled for 9:00 pm there is plenty of time for everyone to grab some dinner after the fest closes down at 6:00 pm on Saturday and make it back to the hotel to join us for the show. The Parliament room is on the west end of the hotel behind the restaurant and adjoins the bar.

For a bit of Laiths history and playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeSJlZRO-rg and a link to his site http://www.laithmusic.com/

The show is open only to AK fest guests and is free to all the festivals guests and exhibitors. Thanks and see you there

Nice work Dave...he looks top notch....:thmbsp:

Bill, Laith's trio played last year. Lotta soul in his voice and his guitar. fotno would be right at home, in the chair beside him. You are gonna dig it.

Oh he was good. Real good. Dude can play an electric guitar.

He weren't no slouch on his first set on the acoustic either! I really enjoyed it. And plan to again this year!

Great job, Grumpy! Is Laith still a member here? I remember he joined after last fest.

Ray

Still a member, though not posting much.

I'm sure looking forward to it!

Laith and Band were simply EXCELLENT last year. They really rocked the place. It will be nice to see him (them) again!

I caught Laiths show at up in Pontiac Michigan this past summer and WOW. He did some covers that blew me away such as the Allman brothers. I hope to get some of that stuff as well as some more John Scofield worked in. Y'all will not be disappointed !

Just remember we can only seat about 100 so get there early and grab a seat.

Grumpy

:yes: That Scofield piece he did last year was excellent!

He was just incredible. Just seeing him makes the whole trip worthwhile!

I say make your own entertainment.

Right down my alley Gumpy! I look forward to the show :yes:

RC
