West End Mambo 3:00- 5:45 pm "The band is West End Mambo, a fiery unit under the guiding hand of
Nicaraguan-American Cesar Oviedo, whose music career has taken him from the
inside circles of the revolutionary socialist government in Managua to the glitz
of Las Vegas to his quiet, family spread in Randolph County. The
other players are a mix of Latinos and Anglos, all ardent practitioners of the
form, and all enthusiastic co-conspirators in Oviedo’s diabolical scheme. They
include conga player Jose Sanchez, who came straight from work at Bank of
America for the gig; guitarist John Parker, who manages the Music Loft;
keyboardist/saxophonist Scott Drewery; timbale player Ramon Ortiz and drummer
Ezra Kelly. Such is the quality of the music in contrast to the humble
setting that the natural hierarchy of artist and public would seem to be turned
on its head."

Salute! After Party Absolute 80's Absolute 80's has been bringing its barrage of synthetic drums and vintage keyboards to audiences all over the east-coast since 1993. They have been a number one draw in clubs, theaters, and colleges from Memphis, TN to Princeton, NJ. People say it's the fact the band plays completely live- NO pre-recorded tracks. Get in the spirit of the early 80's and break out the John Hughes films, break out your Return of the Jedi action figures, or better yet, break dance! As far as these gentlemen are concerned, it is 1985.
