An odd phenomenon takes place when this band hits the stage. As usual, the dance floor is packed — but strangely, no one is dancing! The entire crowd is just staring at the band! This band performs with three drummers and the result is a show that will make your jaw drop!

“Smooth Sounds of Santana” recreates the look & sound of Carlos Santana, replicating the music, note by note, from the legendary early days to material from all eras of Santana’s 30+ year history. The show features all the biggest hits as well as some lesser known classics that will thrill even the most die-hard fans.

Lead by Gary Albano, seven seasoned musicians recreate the sound that earned Santana eight Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Among Santana’s greatest hits are “Black Magic Woman,” “Evil Ways,” “Oye Como Va,” and “The Game of Love.”

Even if you were not a Santana fan “back in the day,” this performance is one that you simply must experience for yourself.

The holiday weekend crowd was unusually light, but the energy level in the auditorium felt like a full house. The band kept the fans clapping and cheering from start to finish, clearly demonstrating why they are considered the premier tribute band for the classic sound of the Allman Brothers. Dozens of dancers flocked to the dance floor to catch a closer look at the stunning guitar riffs and moving to the beat provided by the group’s two drummers.

After the concert, band members joined the fans on the dance floor for a flurry of photos and compliments. Yet another outstanding show for Hemet’s community arts center.
