Rock'n Blues Concert Series Presents Robert Sarzo "A Salute to Santana" Saturday, August 27, 2016

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - Aug. 18, 2016 - PRLog -- The Huntington Beach Library Theater welcomes back The Rock'n Blues Concert Series who opened their doors this year to touring bands who don't just want another gig, they want an experience to remember in a venue they love.  Diane Adams of Diane & the Deductibles, (the Lead Singer/Songwriter and collaborator), who hand picks the bands she presents there, is also the Founder of the Rock'n Blues Concert Series.  The Series has grown from four times a year to six and is quickly becoming iconic.  From the inception to the complete package, from rolling in the amps to performing in the intimate 319 seat setting. Coming out from Back Stage for the After Show, signing their Memorabilia and the audience having the opportunity to be VIP and get the Rockstar Treatment is an experience like no other. To hanging out at the After Party, to breaking down and sending off the guest band to continue their tour, Diane and her team create an experience for everyone paving the way for future bands she admires to take the ride with her and the Deductibles.

Past Headlining Guest Bands have been Gino Matteo & Friends; Coco Montoya; Janiva Magness; the night Walter Trout Headlined, Special Guest of Diane & The Deductibles was Mike Pinera singing his Rock Classic Hit Song "Ride Captain Ride"; and bands Missing Persons; Saga Strings; Sugaray Rayford and Ambrosia.  Some are old friends who Diane & The Deductibles have played with for years and some are new friends making memories.   This is an experience like no other.  Everybody knows the band and they're telling stories and having a great time.

The upcoming concert on Saturday, August 27^th will be Headlined by Robert Sarzo "A Salute to Santana."  Robert, aka VuDu Man, has been busy touring over the past few years with not only Goeff Tate's Queensryche in 2014 & 2015, but with Hurricane in 2014 & 2016, the band he founded 30 years ago and toured with their new line-up.  With all that going on Sarzo just happens to also be Diane's own lead Guitar player in The Deductibles, for over a year now and a key talent in creating, writing, producing and live with the new songs that have been brewing in the studio, just waiting to be revealed.

The talent in the band Diane & The Deductibles will chill your bones.  Starting with Diane Adams who began her career singing & recording on record albums & commercials.  Just to name a few, Mike Pinera brought her in the studio on the song "Silly Sally" on the Iron Butterfly "Stone Believer Album".  She sang at the Great American Food & Beverage Company along with emerging artists like Katey Sagal, Peter Tork & Vonda Shepard while waiting on tables as Singing Waitresses / Waiters and they sang on a Jackson Brown Album "Late for the Sky".  She's opened for Buddy Miles, Les Dudek, Tierra, etc. Sang on the Album "Bombs Away Dream Baby" by John Stewart with Stevie Nicks & Lindsay Buckingham on the single "Turning Music into Gold".  She worked with Don Richmond and Chuck Blore at Sir Douglas Recording Studios Singing on Commercials for KISS Radio.  Diane Adams AKA Croxey Adams, has many stories as a Background Singer such as singing with Rosemary Butler on a Doobie Brothers Album with Michael McDonald and singing on a Suzuki commercial with Earth Wind & Fire, and even met Jimmy Hendrix and many more.

With the Launch of the Rock'n Blues Concert Series Diane & The Deductibles are announcing their ground breaking line-up with the newest guitarist songwriter to the mix, Keith Lynch.  Keith Lynch joins the band having recorded and produced many Artists but well known as having collaborated on Bill Ward's first solo CD, "Along The Way" Co-writing on hits "Bombers (Can Open Bomb Bays)", featuring Ozzy Osbourne singing lead, and "Tall Stories", featuring Jack Bruce on lead vocals. "Bombers", was in heavy rotation on FM radio and was played on MTV.  Together with core element of the band, the Rhythm Section, Cliff Rehrig (former Bass Player of Air Supply) and Ronnie Ciago (who's played Drums with everyone and Bill Ward too) combined with the newest members creates a force to be reckoned with.

About Robert Sarzo aka VuDu Man "A Salute to Santana":
Guitarist, Composer/Songwriter Robert Sarzo (aka VuDu Man) spent his early years in Communist Cuba and became aware of the struggle for freedom all around him. His parents gave up everything to come to America when they made the journey to freedom, with he and his Brother Rudy, they knew the world would change for the better.  On a cloudy day, the Sun suddenly shown through as Robert discovered one of the biggest influences in his life, the music of Carlos Santana.  He grew up, joined a few bands with a list of names that would make your head spin.  After Robert's success with Writing, Producing and Recording hit songs with the Band Hurricane, playing music with an amazing succession of musicians and bringing Hurricane back together, Robert was longing for the road again.  He joined Geoff Tate's Queensryche, where he played 2 years along with his Brother Rudy cheering each other on.  Upon the end of the tour, Robert could have done anything he wanted but was inspired to perform Santana's Grammy Winning Music in appreciation for Carlos Santana paving the way for Latino Rock Musicians. Robert's passion for this project has taken him far beyond his expectations.  Encapsulating the soul and bringing the heat of Carlos Santana's signature guitar sound and Latin vibes, Robert Sarzo re-creates the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at his best on classic rock grooves like "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va." Sarzo's amazing talent captures Carlos Santana's music and highlights his own talent as the unforgettable salute continues.
