Tamer Hamawi - Founder/CEO & Resident DJ

Tamer is an Australian-born Egyptian entrepreneur whose career has been shaped by a lifelong devotion to electronic music and hospitality. After studying Business and Hospitality Management, he spent his early years working internationally before returning to Melbourne to open Honkytonks, the award-winning nightclub that became a defining force in the city’s nightlife.

His next chapter led him to New York City, serving as General Manager of the Michelin-starred PUBLIC, where he met his wife and creative partner, Blaire. Tamer went on to co-found four acclaimed Brooklyn restaurants — Colonie, Gran Eléctrica, Governor, and Pips — known for their design, atmosphere, and community impact. After 13 years in NYC, Tamer relocated to Napa Valley to start a family and launch Gran Eléctrica Napa, before later shifting his focus toward consulting, creative direction, and experiential event production.

Today, Tamer is a resident DJ and co-founder of Salty Sundays, where he curates high-fidelity musical environments for sophisticated dance-driven gatherings. His sets and musical style are marked by a refined blend of house and techno in all their deep, organic, global, and emotionally driven forms. He also performs regularly at Burning Man, local clubs and private events, bringing a deep sense of rhythm, storytelling, and connection to every dance floor.

When not behind the decks or designing experiences, Tamer works as a hospitality consultant, helping brands and operators shape soulful, culturally resonant spaces across the industry.

Blaire Carson Scheibal - Founder/Social Media, Marketing & Creative Director

Born and raised in a log cabin in St. Helena, Blaire eventually left the Napa Valley at age 18 to study performing arts at AMDA and The New School in New York City. Her career has spanned theater, film, television, and commercials, along with creative production roles in costumes, props, and visual storytelling for the TAO Hospitality Group.

After meeting Tamer at the Michelin-starred restaurant PUBLIC in Nolita, Blaire contributed to the openings of his acclaimed Brooklyn restaurants, deepening her experience in hospitality, guest experience, and brand expression. When the couple returned to Napa to start a family and open Gran Eléctrica Napa, Blaire became the restaurant’s Event & Marketing Director, where she created signature concepts like the “Picnic Beds” amongst many others, and built a strong social media presence for the brand.

With a background in performance, production, and design — and a love for music, costuming, and creative immersion — Blaire brings a singular artistic energy to Salty Sundays. Her vision, quirky style and magnetic spirit have been central to the brand’s growth, shaping it into one of Napa Valley’s most beloved experiential events.
