Spaghetti Eastern at Keegan Ales
Spaghetti Eastern Music is the genre-leaping solo project of Hudson Valley-based guitarist/keyboardist Sal Cataldi. Spaghetti Eastern Music marries funky, acid jazz-fueled guitar instrumentals and ambient soundscapes with bare-bones acoustic ballads straight out of the Nick Drake school. Cataldi debuted the project with the critically acclaimed 2016 album, “Sketches of Spam,” followed by several EPs and singles. The New York Times says Cataldi “has a beat unmistakably his own” while Time Out New York praises “the hauntingly moody atmosphere he conjures.” Chronogram Magazine called his music “cool, melodic, inspired and transcendent, a wave of sonic warmth and light.”
