Local Talent

My wife and I went to the Bistros on 5 Points this past Friday and listened to "Main Street", a local rock band.  These guys are pretty good.  Edgar does a mean job both on guitar and lead vocals, I never knew he could sing so well.  Ray Arambula plays an awesome bass and Edgar's little brother is the tazmanian devil on drums.  Together, they do an awesome job on the songs they cover.  If you ever get a chance to go and hear them, I recommend that you do, you won't be disappointed.

New Project

Hey all you +"Windy City" fans, we are in the first stage of writing our own music to go along with the great music of +Chicago.  As of right now, all we have are the lyrics, but our keyboard player, Arthur Compean, is in the process of putting the music to those lyrics.  Hopefully, this will come together before this year is over so we can work on them, get the songs right and then go into the studio to record them.  Stay tuned.  Remember that +"Windy City", El Paso, Texas' tribute band to +"Chicago", will be performing at the canyon for "Cool Canyon Nights" on May 23, 2013.  Hope to see you all there.  In the meantime, keep on rockin' to the Music of +"Chicago" as brought to you by +"Windy City".

Last night, March 8, I had the privilege of performing with +"Windy City's" bass player, Jaime Solorza and +"Windy City's" keyboard player, Artur Compean along with "El Paso Band", for a birthday party at the American Legion hall off of Montana.  It was a blast, I had a blast and the crowd was awesome and very enthusiastic.  It was in celebration of El Paso band's lead singer's brother's birthday and retirement.  Thank you "El Paso" band for the honor and privilege.  Stay in touch by reading our blog weekly.  Until then, keep on rockin to the music of +"Chicago" as brought to you by +"Windy City", El Paso, Texas' tribute band to +"Chicago".

Nove Luna Gig

Had a great time at Nova Luna this past Sunday, the 3rd of March as +"Windy City", El Paso, Texas' tribute band to +Chicago performed for a leukemia fund raiser.  Got a lot of compliments from the crowd and especially from the Manager, Alonso, of the club, who, by the way, had never heard of +"Windy City", much less, heard us perform.  He came backstage and said, "You guys are awesome."  We'll take that any day.  The guys are working hard in getting ready for our upcoming gigs this Spring, Summer and Fall.  Hope to see a lot of you out there.  Until then, keep on rockin' to the music of +Chicago, as brought to you by +"Windy City, El Paso, Texas' tribute band to +Chicago.
