The Sawtelles

Back by beautiful demand—The Sawtelles are bringing their one-of-a-kind sound back to Klekolo! 🎸🥁 This longtime married duo—Peter and Julie Riccio—craft music that’s both minimal and mesmerizing. With alternate guitar tunings, stand-up drums, and harmonies that hit deep, they deliver songs that speak volumes in the spaces between notes. 🎤 From their roots in the Naugatuck Valley to their rich catalog of 13 albums, The Sawtelles embody the spirit of independent music—thoughtful, raw, and always authentic. Their songs pull from everyday life, forgotten rivers, and relationships unraveling like static through the radio. 💬 “America’s greatest rock & roll band,” says Chris Bousquet—and we’re inclined to agree. ☕ Grab a coffee, settle into a cozy seat, and let their songs carry you. Admission is free – tips for the artists are always appreciated!
