Rey Fresco Opening for TOOTS & THE MAYTALS December 1, 2009

“Unique" is a fitting description.

Rey Fresco's lead instrument is a 36 string Veracruz harp accompanied by soulful vocals, a pumping bassline, & a booming drum sound resonating from a kit built out of surfboard fiberglass.

Lead singer Roger Keiaho was born in the south pacific Fijian islands; self-taught drummer Andrew Jones creates his own custom fiberglass drum kits using a surfboard-making technique; Ventura, CA native Shawn Echevarria picked up the bass in high school & never looked back; Xocoyotzin Moraza is the harpist, guitarist, & requinto jarocho player in the ensemble.

The unique instrumentation & original songwriting has lead Rey Fresco to organically build a buzz. The VC Reporter put it best when they proclaimed Rey Fresco is "preparing to explode."

18 and over, please
