Joe creates a unique combination of live loops using percussive beats by thumping his guitar, laying down the chords, and playing bass lines (using the octave guitar pedal). Perhaps the most unique aspect of his show is Joe's ability to open up the songs by picking up any of his four saxophones and playing soulful solos with the loops in the background.

As lead singer of San Diego's popular pop/rock cover band HoneyRock, Marcela has been turning ears for several years now with her soaring vocals ( think Adele meets Stevie Nicks) and spicy personality. Equally at home with the full band, or stripped down acoustic with guitar and vocal accompaniment by Craig Blaine, Marcela sings as richly in spanish as she does english. It's what she was born to do, and she's the first to say "Who knew"!
