Chicano Soul Is Back For Mid-Summer Show

We'll be back at the Taste Of Texas on July 17, 2010 for a night of Chicano Soul the show will feature some of Southern California's most dynamic R&B-Soul-Funk  bands. Show starts at 8:00pm but as usual doors open at 6:00pm for those who want to get something to eat. Nick's Taste Of Texas specializes in tasty Texas Style cooking.

Everyone knows that I have a thing for big horn sections especially when it comes to uptempo R&B. The 10 piece band simply know as Balance who call Azusa their home have been dazzling Southern California with their funky Soul-R&B for years. Besides a powerful horn section the group's front man Sammy Medina provides the group with killer vocals. Here is a Youtube clip of them live on Mr. Duran's Show--> Balance and their website--> Balance Website

Another big band that has been making some noise in Califas is Santa Barbara's premier R&B group the 11 piece Anthony Prieto Band. Like Balance Prieto and his group will be making their first appearance at Nick's Taste Of Texas. The band has been together since 2000 opening for many acts including: Rose Royce, Club Nouevou, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Breton Wood, Tierra, The Original Lowriders (WAR), Debbie Deb, El Chicano and MALO.

Joining us for a second time is one of my favorite groups The Big Manny Band. Manny was with us on my first Chicano Soul show back in September '09 and its an honor to have him back. His rendition of the Vanguards "Somebody Please" an other Eastside classics have made him a crowd favorite. check out his youtube clip on Thee Mr, Duran Show--> Big Manny
