Rolando Morales, Vocalist and Guitarist, year end performances with Carlos Reyes!

After-gig hike last week before the sun fell

December 18, 2018

¡Hola, Mi Gente!

I finished that challenging 3-week run of 1 to 2 gigs per day. And lived to tell. I even threw in that public gig last Saturday with my rock guitarist buddy from Santana, Carlos Hernandez.  We hit it hard at Havana and threw in a bunch of rocking tunes we’d never done before for a packed house. What a blast.

In the midst of playing and commuting day and night in the urban jungle, I had one rare late afternoon off. A brief reprieve. I unloaded my gear, got into my house, changed into some sweats and drove to Chabot about 4:30 and forced my tired body to hit a trail. It was hard to get going, but after coming into my first view of the water and hills, I felt so much better! It was like another world. Peaceful and grounding. And cold and dark! I did the last half of my hike in the night under the slivered moon and beneath the sound of owls hooting in the trees. Magic.

Now my schedule slows to a manageable level. The only public show I’m doing this week happens this Friday December 21 when I return to Maria, Maria in Danville for the last time this year, indoors from 6-9pm.

And remember I’m also at Havana after Christmas on Saturday December 29 with the Paraguayan violinist Carlos Reyes, who has played with Arturo Sandoval and Steve Miller. This is your last chance this year to catch us in public (though we’ve been everywhere in private). Details for both shows below. Hard to believe that these are the last public shows of the year! See you there!

Ciao,

Rolando

Voted? Here are November 2018 upcoming Rolando Morales Performances

Estaire Godinez joins Rolando this Saturday Nov 10 at Havana in Walnut Creek. Here they are before a private event in Hawaii.

November 6, 2018

¡Happy Voting Day, Mi Gente!

I’m on my way out to do the deed. And if you haven’t already, you should be out there at the polls, too. The soul of the country will be revealed. It’s going to be an interesting night…

On the music front there’s only one public show happening this week, but it’s a good one. This Saturday November 10 at Havana in Walnut Creek, about 8:30-11pm, I’m back with my dear friend Estaire Godinez on Latin percussion and voice. She’s played with George Benson and Prince. The last time out, we really stretched into new places. It was a blast testing out new muscles and surprising the crowd. We’ll see where we go this time. We even surprise ourselves! Details below.

Then in addition to my return next week to Pairings Cellars in Pleasanton on Friday November 16, I’ll also return to Havana on Saturday November 24 when I pair up with the Paraguayan violinist Carlos Reyes, who has played with Arturo Sandoval and Steve Miller. Anyone who’s seen him knows he’s a force to be reckoned with. Details for all shows below.

See you on the other side!

Ciao,

Rolando
