Come see the band, Dianna Gatto & The Craving at our next show! I’m so very fortunate to be currently playing my originals with these fantastic Bay Area musicians: Miguel Ramirez (drums), Brett Klynn (bass), and Nich Pak (lead guitar).
Also, please check out the information and link below for the great indie movie, "Four Sheets to the Wind" in which my music "is featured in a big montage bar sequence. It’s hard to miss" YAY!

.. What others have said...
.. "Like its shy hero, Four Sheets to the Wind is so low-key it risks making little impression -- until you realize it (and he) has stealthily won viewer sympathy and affection."
- Dennis Harvey, VARIETY
.. "An uplifting yarn as a young American Indian ventures from the reservation."
- Duane Byrge, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
.. "A film with some wonderfuly oddball comedy while also being a very heart-felt statement about expanding on the person you are and finding your true voice."
- Zack Haddad, FILM THREAT
.. "A lovely tale about communication, family, forgiveness, and ’something resembling love,’ told through the story of a Native American family in small-town Oklahoma."

Influences: too many Monkees tv show episodes to mention during childhood, Glen Phillips, the Beatles, Beach Boys, U2, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis (and some obscure 50's doo-wap bands that were forced upon me during my formative years)...Also, have to give credit where credit is due: I'm a product of the late '70's/early 80's, so go figure about those classic rock and hair bands that filled my early record collection and molded my impressionable little mind...
Type of Label: None
