Rolando Morales September 2019 Calendar

Just a slice of Sunday’s Garden Party in an expansive yard lined with redwoods, exotic flowers, deer and a creek

September 3, 2019

¡Hola, mi Gente!

For the last 10 days now, I’ve been doing my performances with a miserable lung virus. It’s been challenging, to say the least. My doctor says it’s the second wave of a nasty virus that’s been around since the beginning of this year and they’re getting inundated with calls and visits from patients. The funny thing is that most audiences couldn’t tell! I’ve learned to hide it and avoid the trouble notes and use great mic technique and extend those driving instrumental sections. At Sunday night’s private event, I even had them dancing into an overtime hour. I really don’t know how I do this…

But I’m so glad I can! I continue tomorrow, Tuesday Sept 3 at a venue I haven’t played in a year. I return to Casa Bella in Sunol from 5-8pm. This private event center will be doing one of these with live music — MAYBE two, depending on next month’s weather, so swing by for the sure date this Tuesday! A rare opportunity for the public to enjoy the property. Details below.

Your new September Calendar also includes my return to the Walnut Creek Marriott this Saturday September 7. See you at the show!

Ciao,

Rolando

Join Rolando Morales and Janice Maxie-Reed at Havana’s this Saturday

Rolando a few years back in Kauai

September 12, 2018

¡Hola, Mi Gente!

I had turned down FOUR gigs this week, two of them private, because I was scheduled to be in Kauai this week. Unfortunately, two potential hurricanes had the same idea and were working their way to the islands to hit just after I would have, so I had to pull out at the last minute.

So I’m still here in Oak-town catching up on work and clients, and resting my back and shoulder a bit before jumping back into the fray on Saturday September 15 for a special public appearance at Havana in Walnut Creek, with the great Janice Maxie-Reid on keys and vocals. We don’t get to do this often, so I’m really looking forward to playing in duet with her again in this really fun room! We’ll probably include a couple tunes for the Queen of Soul. Details below.

And the other great duets lined up include the amazing Carlos Reyes on Saturday Sept 22; and Santana rock guitarist Carlos Hernandez on Friday Sept 28, all at Havana in Walnut Creek. These are all exciting and unique combinations with different repertoires, so if you come to each of them, you will be thoroughly entertained each time and amazed at the different talents each musician brings to the table! (And maybe by the versatility I possess to shift with the styles each musician brings to the show!) Details below.

See you at the show!

Aloha,

Rolando

Labor Day activities

September 3, 2018

¡Happy Labor Day, Mi Gente!

I hope you’re enjoying a paid day off courtesy of the American labor movement and the laws spawned from it.

Speaking of labor, my shoulders, arm and back have been screaming for a day off, so I’m giving them one. Until tomorrow.

I drop in to Maria, Maria in Walnut Creek on Tuesday September 4 out on the patio from 6-9pm for a little fun. Also to the other Maria, Maria in Danville on Friday September 7, 6-9pm out on their patio, first time in months. Details below. Those will be the only public shows of the week. All the rest are fun private events.

But I will return from those private events in time for a special public appearance at Havana in Walnut Creek, with the great Janice Maxie-Reid on keys and vocals on Saturday Sept 15. I’m really looking forward to playing in duet with her again! Details below.

And the other great duets lined up include the amazing Carlos Reyes on Saturday Sept 22; and Santana rock guitarist Carlos Hernandez on Friday Sept 28, all at Havana in Walnut Creek.
