Spaghetti Eastern Music at Rock da Casbah

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. 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.” Chronogram Magazine called his music “cool, melodic, inspired and transcendent, a wave of sonic warmth and light.”
