Saul Chessin Rocks!

I knew I had a jewel even before Saul came to perform but he not only came to play, he brought his friend, Mike, and together these guys are outstanding. You won't be disappointed by having them come to play for your event, regardless of what type of venue. Well, may be not a Country Western themed event, but hey, I didn't hear anything that would tell me they couldn't kill that, too! We will certainly have them back again and soon...

About

Searching for that magical connection between listeners and performers, Saul Chessin digs deep to find soulful music with meaning. 

Saul's influences reach back to old school jazz, 70-80's funk/soul, R&B, and the acid jazz movement of the 90's, but he has built on these styles to carve out a refreshing new sound.
