Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns - When the Curtain Goes Up

1/13 - BRAND NEW SANTA FE AND THE FAT CITY HORNS RELEASE!

The anxiously-awaited new studio release from Las Vegas favorites SANTA FE AND THE FAT CITY HORNS is here and you absolutely need to hear this smoking new CD. Led by bandleader JERRY LOPEZ, Santa Fe is on fire as they burn through this CD of ten new original tunes. Strokeland is proud to bring you this fabulous new release from this group of world-class musicians.

Bandleader Jerry Lopez assembled a 14-man crew of Vegas's finest show musicians for this latest iteration of his venerable group "Santa Fe" that arrived on the Vegas scene from New Mexico in the 1970's. Howling standing-room-only crowds have crammed into the new band's Monday night gigs ever since -- most of Vegas's other A-List performers and many visiting musical celebrities routinely among them.

For the first time ever, Strokeland Records is releasing the full version of a new song for download long before the CD is released. Tony Adamo's hot new remake of the classic Tower of Power hit "This Time It's Real" is available TODAY for download as an MP3 file.

You can DOWNLOAD THE FULL SONG TODAY for $0.99 from right here on the Strokeland web site with no copy protection hassles.

This smooth, funky arrangement by Jerry Stucker, covered by Strokeland Records artist Tony Adamo, was written by Tower of Power co-founders, Stephen 'Doc' Kupka and Emilio Castillo. Mic Gillette, who has arranged and recorded on six Adamo/Stucker songs, wrote a funk show-time arrangement for this new cover and laid down the brass. Tom E. Politizer of TOP was brought in for the lead solo, and Doc Kupka, the Funky Doctor himself, anchored the horn section.

Adamo's smooth, sensuous vocals and a hot TOP horn section, along with a killer rhythm section make this song the sound of the summer.
