Ivan Lee

Hey all, its been a busy woodshedding winter as my Duo partner (Dave Monterey) put together this group to promote the CD he released in January. It is a fabulous Disc you can find in all the usual places that features a host of great players (all done before Dave and I met :-).... Our debut gig is 4/12 at the Lost Church in Santa Rosa. A beautiful sit down mini concert hall with snacks and drinks. Certainly more band shows will follow as well as Duo gigs... Much is afoot for the coming Spring :-)... Hope to see you out there!

Music heads, friends and family,

Ever since singer/guitarist Ivan Lee relocated to Sonoma County from Seattle, Washington, it’s been a streak of sheer fun for the two of us. Putting together a Northwest coast repertoire blend of styles and favorites is the kind of challenge that inspires moving performance…

Come taste some fine vino at Balletto Vineyards 5700 Occidental Rd, Santa Rosa, between 1 and 4:00pm, Saturday August 26 (see attached flyer). Walk-ins welcome!

Balladeers and bluesy jams – you’ve got it! Who else performs hot interpretations of 3 John Hiatt tunes? A couple of Dire Straits? Some cool James Taylor, and add some local fare from singer Dave Monterey. How ‘bout a classic from the Stones, then from the Beatles. Tom Petty, Grateful Dead, and Little Feat…

See something you like? Join us in sharing our fun. Note also, Balletto’s wine selection is outstanding (FYI - the chilled Rose of Pinot Noir is a summer favorite!).

Cheers! Dave Monterey

Music friends and family,

Something is going right! Dave and Lee have added performances at Santa Rosa's Balletto Vineyards lovely outdoor and covered wine-tasting patio for the afternoons of Saturday August 19 and Saturday August 26.

We are excited to share our fresh repertoire with you and invite you down anytime from 1pm to 4pm both dates to join us for a show (not to mention enjoying some of Balletto's very fine wines!). Flyer is attached.

While Dave has been a SF Bay Area musician for many years, Lee accrued a notable reputation in Seattle. What has transpired within the past few months of Lee's relocation to Petaluma and the two of us meeting up - is a phenomenal transformation. The unique interplay of guitars, harmonies, personalities, and song selections from tender to bluesy, from downhome to high throttle, make a driving force for good time entertainment. Northwest coast style!

Table reservations for tasting can be made at ballettovineyards.com and walk-ins are always welcomed. They are at 5700 Occidental Rd, Santa Rosa.

Come check out the latest!

Dave
