This Sunday in Los Angeles!  Former Six String Winner Alexander Sill will be performing in his band Trifield Quintet!

Message from Lee Ritenour : “Hi everyone… I’m looking forward to hanging out this coming Sunday, August 16th, at Vibratos in LA . This is Herb Alpert’s very beautiful club up in the Bel Air area. A very cool band called the Trifield Project will be featured. It includes my son, Wesley on drums and my good friends, Alex Sill on guitar & Otmaro Ruiz on piano. Rumor has it… that I’ll be sitting in for a few tunes as well! Come on by if you can…Rit”
