Rolando Morales – February 2026

Setting up for the Tackle Hunger event

February 6, 2026

“If you win a Super Bowl before you’re fired, you’re a genius, and everyone listens to you.  But a coach is just a guy whose best class in grammar school was recess and whose best class in high school was P.E.  I never thought I was anything but a guy whose best class was P.E.”

~John Madden

¡Hola, mi Gente!

I’m a little late in getting this new February Calendar out to you. It’s always tricky to pull and confirm all these appearances together at the end of the month, but this time I also had a few private events during the week, built around the Super Bowl, that occupied my time.  

Just last night, I was honored to play in “A Night of Champions,” a fundraising event hosted by Tackle Hunger.  It featured, among many others, 4-time Super Bowl Champion 49er Erick Wright.  The room was filled with compassionate hearts from here and across the nation whose vision is to create awareness and action, so that all food charities have critical resources to feed those in need at all times.  There were inspiring stories and fun items for auction, reflecting a passion for professional sports and Black History Month. 

If you’d like to learn more, donate, or participate in this beautiful organization, visit www.tacklehunger.org. 

As to the new February Calendar, a few highlights feature a special Valentine’s Day dinner event with violinist-harpist Carlos Reyes and me on February 14 at Park James Hotel in Menlo Park.  Details below.

We’ll also have a first-time appearance of a new version of the Rolando Morales Trio on Thursday, February 26, at Havana in Walnut Creek, which should be a blast.  I’ll also be doing a solo House Concert at Harding House in Redwood City on Saturday, February 28, which I haven’t played there since we zoomed during the pandemic.  All the details for these shows and more are below in the Calendar.  Gather your gente, reserve, and I’ll see you there!

Ciao,

Rolando
