The Back Room is proud to welcome Tony Saunders, who has just released a song with Gerald Albright called "Return Of The Mack." He will showcase his new band, which features Vernon Hall on bass (Tony Toni Tone), John Mitchell on drums, Bay Area great Tim Landis on guitar, and Rhay Roland on keys.

They are currently working on a new CD for Baja/TSR Records, which will be Tony's 8th solo album. The band will be playing music from his catalog, which includes chart-topping hits "Rock Steady" and "And The Beat Goes On," "Bigger Than Outside," and "Chasing The Dream," which has almost 4 million streams.

Tony is excited to play The Back Room, which is just down the street from the old Keystone Berkeley, where he played with his dad, Merl Saunders, and Jerry Garcia. Tony has performed with the Hawkins Family, Stevie Wonder, David Crosby, Joe Sample, Chaka Kahn, Joe Lewis Walker and Eric Clapton. This will be a night of great music.
