A fearless multi-instrumentalist, he can most often be seen with the band Session Americana, as well as the Chandler Travis Philharmonic, the unapologetically loud and grimy Catbirds, as sensitive sideman to any number of singer/songwriters, including Rose Cousins and Kris Delmhorst, and even fronting the twenty piece party band, the Funky White Honkies. It is rare to be able to enjoy hearing Dinty as a solo performer, when his song writing, performing ability, and friendly nature truly shine. More on Dinty can be found at Dintychild.com. This concert is generously funded by The Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund. The $10 cover at the door will directly benefit The W Gallery and its tireless efforts to bring arts to the community.
