JINGO – The Heart & Soul of Santana

Friday, August 16, 2024 – 8:00 PM EDT

JINGO is The Heart & Soul of Santana No fancy tricks, no gimmicks, just seven musicians recreating the music of Carlos Santana to perfection with note for note renditions quickly becoming the Ultimate Santana Tribute on the touring scene today Jingo covers all the great hits of Santana, which has featured the talents of Carlos Santana, along with so many talented artists. The seven seasoned, well respected musicians comprising Jingo have been making music together in various combinations and styles, in original outfits and in cover bands, for over thirty years. It seemed only fitting that they should come together to form the Ultimate Santana Tribute, and pay homage to a guitar legend who won 10 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy Awards and has been performing for 50 years. Authentic sounding and always respectful, Jingo leaves no stone unturned in replicating the sounds of one of the world’s best loved, top selling bands.

“One of the world’s greatest bands … an American treasure.”—Entertainment Weekly

NRBQ is Terry Adams, Scott Ligon, Casey McDonough, and John Perrin. “NRBQ”, which stands for New Rhythm and Blues Quartet, has often been called a national treasure, which may be why the band’s music has attracted legions of devoted fans worldwide, including Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Costello, Penn & Teller, Doc Pomus, R.E.M., SpongeBob SquarePants, Michael J. Pollard, Ian McLagan, Steve Earle, Drew Carey, and Nick Lowe, among many others. NRBQ songs have inspired cover versions by Bonnie Raitt, Los Lobos, Darlene Love, Dave Edmunds, She & Him, Widespread Panic, Yo La Tengo, and more.

The group served as the unofficial “house band” for The Simpsons for Seasons 10-12. They appeared as zombies in George Romero’s movie Day of the Dead. They have appeared at the Berlin Jazz Festival, the Grand Ole Opry, and Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival. In their 50+ year career, NRBQ has released almost as many albums, including a series of critically acclaimed titles in the past decade, among them Keep This Love Goin’ (2011), Brass Tacks (2014), and the 5-disc, 50-year retrospective, High Noon (2016). Of the brand-new studio album Dragnet, released at the end of 2021, Bill Bentley in Americana Highways says, “They play with such startling and powerful simplicity, a style that must be earned and not learned,” while Uncut says, “[it’s] as though the history of 20th-century popular and unpopular music has gone through thorough, playful distillation.”
