its ability to transform your state of mind, telegraph emotion, and/or transport you to a far away place.

The organizers of Pueblo Hall have tapped into a certain market. This demographic is obviously not being served elsewhere. Some people may ask what's the difference is between the Tribute Band and say George Rivas, Rocky Hernandez & OBG Band, or Danny & QVO Band?

The difference is very sharp. All you have to consider is the name of the musicians in the Tribute Band. Names like Ralph Cortez, Rudy Palacios, Roland Martinez.

All of these musicians have spent considerable time in big name groups such as Sunny & the Sunliners, Jimmy Edward, and other bands.

This is not to say that the other groups are not good. But, like a fine wine the sound is more full-bodied and richer.

The song selection is deep and diverse, the musicianship flawless, the sonic fidelity incredibly sharp, thanks to top shelf sound system.

The only minor headache...the volume level towards the later evening was a tad too loud. They had enough speaker power on stage to blow out a venue twice the size.

A tendency to overmax volume levels is a common problem among music groups. They should resist the temptation to overdo it.

Another nice feature of Pueblo Hall is that is is SMOKE-FREE.

The TGIF dance series with Tribute Band will continue each Friday except for the next two weeks as Pueblo Hall owner Mary Jane Esquivel has booked several community fundraisers.
