Sally Baby’s Silver Dollars

"If NPR's Tiny Desk Contest handed out medals like at the Olympics, Sally Baby's Silver Dollars would have taken home the silver as runner-up in 2024. Since then, the former underground seven-piece band led by singer and songwriter Sal Geloso has taken off like a gold medal-winning sprinter.

The band has gone from playing tiny dives in the 9th Ward to bookings this year at the French Quarter Festival, Jazz Fest and the prestigious High Sierra Music Festival in California... Like many of the other uniquely New Orleans bands that have preceded them into the national consciousness, they won't remain ours (in New Orleans) alone for long."
