Chuck Schiele's Quatro
The 443 Social Club

Price: Free
The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave., Syracuse

The Quatro is a brand-new sound that exists somewhere between the deserts of New Mexico and the rings of Saturn. It's exotic and unlikely yet familiar. It is beautiful yet haunting. Chuck Schiele writes songs about God, sex, politics and uses alternate-tunings to arrange them ... rock, Americana, with an emphasis on whatever... Add the otherworldly pedal steel genius of George Newton, the classical moves and motions of Heather Kubacki on cello, and the double bass virtuosity of John Dancks and the mix becomes less of a set of music and more like a ride.
