Sally Baby's Silver Dollars w/ Lexi Weege at The Iron Horse on Thursday, August 6 2026
"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."

Lexi Weege is no stranger to the road. The Western Mass-based powerhouse singer/songwriter grew up in a traveling Cabaret troupe, and she’s been on the move ever since. Combining the best of jazz, Motown, and soul, Weege’s original songs are full of spirit.Whether she’s crooning a heartbroken ballad or belting out the blues, Lexi Weege's dexterous voice is at the heart of it all. Her acrobatic vocals soar high and plunge low, tugging at your heartstrings. Her nearly twenty years of experience is evident in the craft of her songwriting, and in the bold confidence she exudes onstage. Lexi Weege's six releases, national tours, and hundreds of shows have happened independently, without any label backing. A true believer in thepower of DIY, Weege is surely an old soul, and one of a kind.
In 2020, Weege joined forces with mountain folk singer songwriter and guitar slinger JJ Slater, and the pair began recording and touring under the name Signature Dish. The Dish released a record of reimagined blues classics and dubbed the collection “They’re Red Hot!” in 2025. Weege released an album of original jazz compositions, titled “Renaissance Painting,” in October 2025, and is currently in the studio working on a followup record expected to be released in fall of 2026!
