FEATURING:
Gil Hager
Dr. Gil Hager specializes in treating soldiers injured in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. That’s the day job. But long before that, there was music. Dropping out of college in 1970, Gil spent the next few years as a traveling musician, recording his first album in 1975. After he returned to college and received his medical degree, he wrote no songs for another 20 years – until the music came calling once again in March of 1998. Since then he’s recorded several more records with a crew of skillful musicians.

Kip Corley
Kip is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He’s been performing original and cover songs in restaurants, clubs, lodges and coffeehouses in and around the OC for the last 10 years or so as a soloist and with a band called Knightlyghter. Two songs recorded by other artists so far.

Charles William
Charles William is an experienced and seasoned singer/songwriter whose songs and style has been said to reach out and grab the heart and mind. Warming and soothing to the soul, Charles’ music and lyrics are original and unique as he relates about the everyday joys and struggles that we all experience at one time or another, pulling the listener in to identify, as well as enjoy the stories and ballads. Having just moved to Southern California from Atlanta via Nashville, Charles William simply enjoys sharing his heart and soul with whomever cares to listen. A memorable and charismatic entertainer and personality who will send you home humming and singing…

I was just at the Sam ash location, great store by the way. Their signs showed every third Tuesday.Last month was really cool, I saw the YouTube videos on the sam ash westminster's myspace. The zip code is 92683 and not 22683. Can't wait to check out the next group on the 17th. Rodney(the host) brought in some good bagels!
