Tkacheff will join ISLAND's frontman Scott West for a set of music at BT's Place in the Old Town section of Elk Grove, California on Satuday July 31, 2004 at 7 PM. Tkacheff will be performing at the California State Fair later this summer and West will be playing at INSANE Gallery's Insane Saturday (at 511 20th Street) in Sacramento for the August 14th Second Saturday Art Walk.

(PRWEB) August 2, 2004 -- California Bands, musicians, songwriters, bandmembers, singers and others will be playing at BT's in Elk Grove, CA on Saturday July 31, 2004 for the July California Songwriters Showcase. Sasha Tkacheff from "SASHA's VIOLIN" will be performing with Scott West and members of the California Band "ISLAND" at 7 PM.

West commented, "Timmy Barnes, my favorite guitarist on the planet, is playing with his mates from Stoneground and Pablo Cruise on Saturday night in Nevada City, so he won't be able to play with us at BT's. Timmy will be back playing with us on August 14th at the Insane Gallery Gig in Sacramento. Having Sasha Tkacheff play with us at both will be a blast. Sasha is incredible and that's really all you can say about her. It's amazing to hear her fast runs, astonishing tone and dynamic expression. She just let's it flow and gives everyone in the room adrenalin shots."

"Timmy has played with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, George Harrison, Savoy Brown and just about every blues legend of our day, so he's irreplaceable on guitar, but Sasha brings a whole different texture and feel, so Saturday is definitely going to be an amazing time. I've played with Sasha before and you never know which direction she's going to take you and she can literally do anything on her instrument. So she can push you, challenge you and break things wide open."

Scott West is going to be playing at the INSANE SATURDAY CONCERT on August 14th with Timmy Barnes and Sasha Tkacheff at The Insane Gallery (511 20th Street in Sacramento) at 10 PM. Wear your old converse hightops and come on down to Scott West's 2004 "SHOES" Show for a great party and Sacramento's Second Saturday Art Walk's hot spot.
