I would like to start out by thanking those of you hwo have asked about Tony Saenz. He is my brother and always will be. ( I say this out of love for our friendship of many years). He is doing great and continues to walk strong in his Christian faith. I love and wish him the very best.
That being said, on Saturday May 19th in San Antonio, we embark on a new era for Cuatro Rosas. The new lead vocalist and bajo sexto player is Rodrigo "Jr" Torres. Many of you may know him for his storied musical career. For those of you who don't, Jr is the first cousin of the late great Joe Ramos. Jr has recorded with Tony de la Rosa the song "Mejor Solo". Bernardo y sus Compadres "Como Un Clavo en La Pared", "Cancion Mixteca" as well as most recently with Edgar Vasquez the song "Cartero". So as you can see he brings a wealth of musical talent.
The band will also include the Legend Greg Paredez on bass and 2nd voice. Albert "Snoopy" Soliz on 2nd voice. Andy Viera will be on accordion and Gino Garza will round out the band on drums. The band manager is Eddie Casas.
It is with great pride that I announce the New Cuatro Rosas featuring Jr Torres. In the event you would like to book the band you may reach me @ 210.336.2800 or email me to eddiecasas29@sbcglobal.net
