“Passion is energy.”

    ~Oprah Winfrey

¡Hola, mi Gente!

I didn’t think I’d be quoting Oprah, but there you are.  Simple and to the point.

I was thinking of the passion I’ve conjured at recent events when there were large groups of people into the music all dancing to my rhythms.  At those times, when I’m a soloist, I dig deeper into myself to create that big, danceable sound.  It takes a tremendous amount of energy to play the rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass, vocals and play string or horn parts all at the same time.  But that I do.  And when those smiles, dance moves and screams of delight are aimed my way, then I feel the passion returned and find new energy.

But at those times, I also really miss my band!  I’m working on getting something going with them again, maybe next month…  I’ll keep you posted.

In the meantime, here comes your brand new August Calendar.  In spite of all the private events I’m doing which do not appear here, I still have a healthy number of public opportunities to catch me, including my new set of shows on some Wednesdays at the Park James Hotel in Menlo Park.  All the details for all my shows are below.  See you there!

Ciao,

Rolando

“ A good friend is a connection to life — a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.” 

   ~Lois Wyse

¡Hola, mi Gente!

I spent all day Monday into the evening doing repairs and tech improvements to my music equipment with my dear buddy Carlos Reyes.  His knowledge and breadth of experience in the tech side of music are truly a marvel.  As a musician, he ain’t too shabby either!  I enjoyed putting this new system together with him.  There are still a few things to do with it over the next weeks, but I’m excited to try it out for the first time at this weekend’s set of gigs.  Our shared past has bridged my road to the future.

We’ve had to make a change in a date we advertised last week.  It turns out Pairings Wine Bar & Restaurant in Pleasanton has a buyout on Friday, April 21st, and will be closed to the public that night.  BUT, it’s also the day they were going to kick off their Friday lunchtime hours, so I’ll be playing for that instead, the same day, but from 12-3 pm.  The new details and poster are below in your calendar.

Remember, too, I’m returning to Elevation LVK in Livermore after a long hiatus on Friday, April 14.  Details below.

Here comes the rest of your calendar.  Gather your friends and join me!

Ciao,

Rolando
