GUNMETAL BLUES is a hard-boiled detective yarn disguised as a lounge act. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Live from the Red Eye Lounge, piano player and tour guide, Buddy Toupee, leads us on a voyage – a voyage of mystery, murder, and music as Sam Galahad searches for a missing blonde in a world of smoke and mirrors, shadows and shattered dreams. Who murdered Adrian Wasp? Was it Carol Indigo, the party girl with the big secret? Or Laura Vesper, the woman with a past? Or was it a mysterious bag lady called the Princess? Will Sam break the case before the crooked cops and the bad guys break him? Will he find the love he thought he lost? Only Buddy Toupee knows. Put a buck in his “Tips” glass. Buddy takes requests.
