Back by popular demand, this is Dyana’s second year performing for our holiday party. She brought the cheer last year and we are so happy to have her back. Sacramento’s sweetest Rockabilly band, Dyana & The Cherry Kings will swing dance you ‘till you drop! With their sultry sound and swanky style, you can’t help but move to the music. Inspired by 50’s rock’n’roll and jump blues, the energy is high, the sound is seductive and sure to leave you wanting more. The Leaping Blennies are the new Cherry Kings, and they are a musical force to be reckoned with. Since this is our Holiday party, Dyana will be playing some classic Cherry Kings’ tunes as well as some holiday standards.

8:00-10:30 The West End Quartet
The Au brothers, is made up of some of Sacramento’s finest swing and traditional musicians. Over the years, each member has traveled the country playing for Lindy exchanges, competitions, cruises, and jazz festivals. While the roots and focus of the band’s repertoire is on hot swing material from the 20-40’s, they have also been known to put a hot vintage spin on well-loved songs from other genres, such as movie or Broadway themes. We are excited to be able to bring in an all-star band to Sactown Sings featuring Brandon and Justin Au, Jim Martinez, and Steve Apple on the drums.
This will be an incredibly special evening of music. Dress vintage and don’t miss this night.

8:00-10:30 The Danny Sandoval Swinging Quartet
Danny grew up in San Pablo, California and started playing saxophone at the age of eight. He discovered a place at the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts in Richmond, CA for him to explore his passion and dream of becoming a professional jazz saxophonist. He started playing semi-professionally when he was sixteen and continues to perform all over the Bay Area and Central Valley. By the age of 17, Danny was playing up to 5 nights a week in San Francisco, paying his way through college. Over the course of his training, Danny has had the honor of studying with Tony Archimedes, Frank Sumares, and Mel Martin. By playing the saxophone, Danny feels that he has been able to express his most inner passions out to audiences all of these years. Danny is currently on staff with the California Health Care Foundation in Sacramento, where he lives with his wife and two children, both of whom are also musicians. Danny continues to pursue his love of performing, and is actively involved in touring, recording and playing live soul, funk, blues and salsa.
