Kurt Ribak 

(pronounced REE-bok, like the shoes)

gigs and other stuff

 

Sand Dollar is a family owned and operated business set in one of the world's most beautiful places.  I've often gone here on my own time and my own dime.  There are a lot of locals who hang out here at the bar.  Sit outside, enjoy the weather, and listen to us live!  I'll be a sideman in drummer Rob Hart's trio.  The group will feature Greg Sankovich on keyboards.  Greg is my go-to guy on keyboards, and Rob is one of my first-call drummers.
