Headlining this weekend:
Starship ft. Mickey Thomas
STARSHIP, originally known as Jefferson Starship, rose to prominence in the 1980s with a series of iconic hits, propelled by their soulful lead vocals. After Mickey Thomas joined in 1979, the band recorded chart-topping tracks like “Jane,” “No Way Out,” and “We Built This City.” The group rebranded as STARSHIP in 1985 and continued their success with hits like “Sara” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now.” Their performances today continue to feature a mix of classic STARSHIP and Jefferson Starship songs, as well as nods to their roots with a few selections from Jefferson Airplane.
Grupo Mania
Grupo Mania, formed in 1993 by Hector “Banchy” Serrano and three other talented musicians, quickly rose to prominence with their infectious merengue sound. The group achieved notable success with multiple Platinum and Gold records, including their hit “Exploto el Bombazo” and their Grammy-winning album “Latino” in 2002. Grupo Mania’s dynamic performances have taken them worldwide, including a memorable appearance at the Carnaval de Tenerife. Throughout their career, they earned numerous accolades, including multiple Premios Lo Nuestro and ASCAP awards. After the departure of Oscar Serrano in 2015, his brother Danielito joined, bringing fresh energy to the group. Their 2019 album “Los Conquistadores” earned them a Latin Grammy nomination, and they continue to captivate audiences with their energetic performances and new music.
