Vacaville: OSV Presents Viva Santana
May 5 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The timeless music of Carlos Santana has helped shape the sound or rock and Latin music since the late 60s. The “VIVA SANTANA” show is a fiery tribute to the classic Santana sound, with a set list that plays like a Greatest Hits” CD! From searing guitar solos to smooth vocals and the rhythmic beat of the congas, timbales, and drums, you’ll hear everything from “Black Magic Woman” to “Jingo”, “She’s Not There”, “Smooth” and much more!Lead guitarist Michael Hernandez and lead vocalist/bass player Steve Garland grew up in the bay area during Santana’s rise to fame, and both became musicians during the late 60s and early 70s, becoming a part of the San Francisco rock music scene. They’ve always been inspired by the music of Carlos Santana, and have worked over the years to recreate the Santana signature sound on guitar, and the vocals that combine to bring the Sound of Santana to life. It’s a high energy show that pays tribute to their Latin heritage and Santana.VIVA SANTANA was born from Steve, Michael and The Rhythm Vandals-a longtime Sacramento favorite band.
