The number one rated Santana tribute band in the coun- try will be performing in the Holiday Bay Room at the lodge tomorrow, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. Once again, the community has responded to a concert from the Canyon Lake Fine Arts Guild with yet another sold out performance.
“Smooth Sounds of Santana” will feature burning rendi- tions of classics such as “Evil Ways,” “Black Magic Woman,” “Oye Como Va,” and of course, “Smooth.” These talented musicians will capture the multicultural sound and spirit that have made Santana a rock radio mainstay for decades.
According to the Fine Art Guild President Travis Mont- gomery, concert-goers will hear all of Santana’s greatest hits as well as some lesser-known classics that will have even the most die-hard fans reminiscing about ‘back in the day’.
From the tone of the guitars to the sound of the keyboard and Latin percussion, this retrospective-style show finds that iconic “Santana” sound. “Smooth Sounds” performs tunes from all eras of Santana’s storied career; from the group’s early Woodstock days almost 50 years ago to Santana’s more recent smash hits.
Santana pioneered a highly original fusion of rock, salsa, jazz and blues. The band’s sound features his melodic, blues- based guitar lines set against congas and timbales not gen- erally heard in rock music. “If you like Santana, you’ll love this concert. They offer the look, sound and feel of an actual Santana concert,” said Fine Arts Guild Program Director Ron Martel “Every song in the set will not only be recognizable but probably played a special role in the lives of our audience.”
“Smooth Sounds” founder Gary Albano established a simple stated mission; “To faithfully recreate the music of one of the greatest guitar players ever, Carlos Santana.” The seven gifted musicians that make up this band say that they give it all up on stage.
Like so many Guild events, “Smooth Sounds of San- tana” is sold out. However, the next Guild tribute event is “The Beach Boys Christmas.” The “Catch a Wave” tribute band was featured at Fiesta Day several years ago. Guild Operations Director Bert Barbay said, “These terrific musicians have mastered the five-part harmonic vocals with the exact slurs, slides, scoops and the Beach Boy mannerisms.”
The band proudly claims to be the only tribute band selected to perform for Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys at the California state historical landmark dedication near the Beach Boys original home in Hawthorne, California, in May 2005.
Featured at Disneyland and the Disney Cruise Line, “Catch a Wave” was created to pay tribute to the unique har- monic California sound that was created by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson and Al Jardine. The group claims the feel-good songs about the beach, cars and California girls are the spark that ignites their flame in every performance.
As this concert will be Saturday, Dec., the group will in-
