US State Department Sending Hot Club of Cowtown to Sultanate of Oman

The US State Department has invited the Hot Club of Cowtown to participate in a few cultural activites in Oman this week. The first event will be an outdoor concert in Salalah, along the southern coast, as part of The Khareef Festival, an international arts and music festival that takes place in Salalah every year. The second show, in the capital city of Muscat, will be on July 24, at the Abustan Palace Hotel. Both shows are free and open to the public. For this special weekend of shows, Elana and Jake are going to be joined by our good friend Ted Gottsegen on guitar who will be filling in for Whit. We are very honored and excited to be representing the US on our first official trip to the Middle East.
