Tiki Gods brought the Tiki Bar AllStars to the Coffee Gallery Backstage Friday, 12/04/09

A wonderful night was missed by most of you with The Tiki Bar Allstars - with Joe Rathburn, Jerry Gontang, Gary Seiler & Rob Mehl.




A night of 6-string Trop-rock music on a Panamanian coffee wharf. It is so handy that The Coffee Gallery Backstage has been lovingly painted to resemble such a coffee wharf by Altadena artist Gary Thomas. And there they were, as if washed up by fortuitous circumstance - 4 lush voices, 4 mellow guitars (and occasional bass guitar), complete with tropical laid back attitude. Almost a full house, and they will be back. Sign up early next time.

What would happen if you invited four very popular San Diego area trop-rock band leader/songwriter/performers, who are old friends, to put together a super-group to play your wedding? The result would be The Tiki Bar Allstars. That's exactly how they came to be. They had so much fun playing that wedding together, and were so well received, they decided to approach the San Diego Parrot Head Club to book them at their mega fundraiser anniversary event. The results were magical and they've already been invited back again in 2010.
