The Sauce Boss
Join us at the Side Door Cabaret for an unforgettable night with Bill Wharton, the Sauce Boss! Experience a high-energy blend of Bluesy slide guitar and soulful vocals as Bill ignites the stage with his unique sound. Sauce Boss mixes media like cornbread. Hot sauce, blues, chicken, funk, onions and okra, heartfelt songs, peppers and soul, seafood… and slide guitar, all go into the gumbo. The aroma fills the place. The crowd stirs up the pot. The Sauce Boss stirs up the crowd. It’s a soul-shouting picnic of Rock and Roll brotherhood, and at the end of the show, everyone eats.
Last year’s show sold out in advance, so be sure to get your tickets early!
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Bill Wharton, (Sauce Boss), is the guy Jimmy Buffett sang about in his song “I Will Play for Gumbo.” Wharton’s anthem, “Let the Big Dog Eat” is included on Buffett’s “Late Night Menu at the Margaritaville Cafe” album. Albert Castiglia released his cover of the tune, and it hit #1 on blues charts. “Let the Big Dog Eat” has also appeared in the movies, “Something Wild” (Jonathan Demme), and the Rock Doc, “Jimmy Carter Rock and Roll President.” This tune and sixteen other works in the documentary earned Wharton “‘Best Original Score” from the Los Angeles Film Awards.
Presented by William W. Wharton III and the Palladium at SPC.
