The Hot Frittatas, Gus Garelick (violin and mandolin), Dennis Hadley (accordion), Don Coffin (guitar) and Gail Sharpsteen (cello), specialize in romantic Italian and French cafe music. But don't be lulled into thinking they are just about a quiet cup of cappuccino and a pastry. One reviewer wrote that they play a "tasty concoction of classical and contemporary roots music from Spain, Italy, France, Sicily, Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico. Waltzes, tangos, polkas, musettes, tarantellas and marches performed with expertise, equanimity, style and vivacity." They have been called “Northern California’s liveliest ensemble for European and International café music.” They've appeared all across the West, on various radio programs (including NPR), produced three CDs, and written music for “The Bachelor” TV series.Press: St. Helena Star

Starting Here, Starting Now
The excitement of young love and the confusion of growing up (or is it the other way around?) are explored in this intimate revue from one of the most respected teams in the contemporary musical theatre, Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire (Baby, Big).Using songs from their various early musicals (produced or otherwise), this bold, extroverted journey takes a winsome cast of three through the maze of modern relationships with its heart firmly on its sleeve. As with all of Maltby and Shire’s work, each song is an impeccably crafted story, original, engaging, bursting with character, and showcasing the versatility and charisma of its performer.
From tender ballads to hysterical husband-hunting laments, from wry comments on trendy marriages to ecstatic shouting-from-the-rooftop celebration, Starting Here, Starting Now has an appealing freshness that has made it a perennial favorite throughout the world.
