Krush Lounge: Manuel The Band – Concerts in the Plaza 2024 Kick Off
Rock, pop, jam band...that’s all stuff that happens with Manuel The Band but they’re so much more than those labels. With clever, personal songwriting from front man Manuel Grajeda at it’s core, these guys are creating a dynamic sound, taking it from quiet ballad moments to full on shredding rock jams with ease. The sound comes complete with electric and pedal steel guitars along with a two-piece horn section and a bass and drum rhythm section that finds that coveted pocket so well. The layers and arrangements are all so thoughtful. It all keeps you engaged and moving for sure. Beyond the music, they’re fun loving and funny and just a total blast to hang with! Follow Manuel The Band on FB, IG and Spotify and at manueltheband.com.
Catch the vibes LIVE as they kick off Downtown SLO’s Concerts in the Plaza next Friday 6/21! More info on the show and series at downtownslo.com.
