THE VOICE
The Hitmen
power-packed, 10-piece classic rock dynamo, The Houserockers. Homegrown from the South Bay, their popular mix of timeless rock classics earned them KFOX’s coveted “Best Cover Band in the Bay Area” award. Festival favorite Salsa Sunday will start off sizzling in a big way with The Hitmen. They’ve been entertaining Bay Area audiences with their wide range of favorites from ‘70s to modern hits, including many Latin songs, for over 20 years. Salsa comes in many forms from spicy to mild, and the same goes for Orquestra Borinquen. This talented 10-piece band is truly unique and inspiring. The Ruckatan Latin Tribe, a fusion of Latin and Reggae, will close out Salsa Sunday with their dance-oriented Latin, Caribbean and World music-inspired rhythms. This 7-piece band loves to celebrate life with their original music.
