The Flying Salvias, a band forged from decades of diverse musical experiences and unyielding passion, proudly announces the release of their latest project, "Henry's Hideaway" This album is a testament to the enduring spirit of musicians who have weathered the storms of life and emerged with a rich tapestry of sounds and stories.

The Band's Evolution: A Journey Through Sound

The Flying Salvias' music is a culmination of years spent performing on various stages – from arena platforms to bar counters, from church altars to flatbed trucks. Their eclectic style has been shaped by an array of genres, including country, blues, rock, folk, gospel, jump swing, jazz (both smooth and crunchy), heavy metal, and countless combinations thereof. This unique blend of influences and life experiences fuels their songwriting and performances, resulting in a sound that defies easy categorization. It’s the essence of what happens when you refuse to give up and keep creating – a beautiful mess, a genius blur of rhythmic thought and melodic rhyme.

Welcome to "Henry's Hideaway!"

Envision San Francisco's Embarcadero or the shadowy corners of North Beach in the fifties. Picture a brooding concrete bunker of a bar. Open the door, and you step into a party – a tableau of friendly chaos, a population of diverse denizens, each with their own story to tell, and everybody is listening. This is the world of "Henry's Hideaway."

Think Ricky Ricardo, Joe Sample, Peggy Lee, or Laufey, and you’ll be in the right frame of mind to enjoy this musical journey.
