CLEVELAND -- Bob Gatewood, leader and driving force for the band Calabash, has just released FINALLY HOME, his second full length CD.
Gatewood and Calabash have been staples of the Northeast Ohio music scene for 15 years and have been some of the most popular entertainers at the Round House Bar on Put-in-Bay for years.
Recorded at Head Room Studios in Nashville this past spring, and produced by Tom Bukovac, who has played with John Fogerty and Wynonna Judd.
Gatewood was backed by a stellar lineup of musicians for the sessions, including drummer Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh, CSNY), keyboardist Mark Jordan (Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt) and bassist David Santos (Billy Joel, Elton John).

He can do it all in the studio on any instrument with a flair for creative genius and technichal ability to back it up. He has always been good to me, but this time he surpassed all of my expectations and hopes. The band he assembled to record the album was no less than stellar. If you counted the million selling albums these guys have played on, you would be around a hundred!
On drums we had the legendary Joe Vitale. Joe became a rock icon playing drums on all the Joe Walsh records as well as several with Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and The Eagles just to name a few. All the guys in the band were super nice, but Joe's generosity towards my music was amazing. He brought the experience an
