Spaghetti Eastern Music at Rock da Casbah

Spaghetti Eastern Music is the genre-leaping solo project of Hudson Valley guitarist/keyboardist Sal Cataldi. Spaghetti Eastern marries acid jazz-fueled guitar instrumentals with bare-bones acoustic ballads straight out of the Nick Drake school. The New York Times says Cataldi “has a beat unmistakably his own” while Time Out New York praises his ” delicate guitar work and the hauntingly moody atmosphere he conjures.” Called “beautiful and unique” by WFUV’s Mixed Bag and “charmingly melodic and off-center” by WFMU. Hudson Valley One calls Spaghetti Eastern, “eclectic and mesmerizing, a whirling dervish of musical creation — a must-see.”
