Bandidos Cerveza Rides Again
Kelowna Community Theatre
Saturday September 26, 2015

Tickets available online here or at the Kelowna Visitor Centre

A 22 Piece Orchestral Rock Band with lead vocalists & backup signers. Performing Songs by: The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Phil Collins, Gerry Raffery, Santana, The Guess Who, & Original Latin Rock

Ken Hartfield, composer, arranger and performer with extensive experience in the music industry, created the concept for Bandidos Cerveza in August 2013.  When Ken was performing these great songs back in the 60's and 70's, he envisioned inspired arrangements of these songs  but never had the opportunity to produce and share them.  By utilizing his ideas, he put himself to the task of creating new arrangements for the rock classics with this 25 - piece group.  The musicical arrangements enhance these great songs and at the same time keep the original feel, musical hooks and themes. 

The musical performance includes a rock rhythm section, lead and background singers, a string section, brass section and percussion.  You will also experience the latest in digital audio live sound with DP8, which is the same system used in concerts by Roger Waters (The Wall), Paul McCartney, Madonna, Black Eyed Peas and several other professional touring groups.

Ken Hartfield brings many years of professional experience to these concerts.

Ken composed/arranged and produced for live shows and recording sessions in Canada, southern California and Las Vegas.  Ken also performed in back-up bands and orchestras for Tom Jones, Tanya Tucker, Bobby Vinton, Rich Little, The Bob Hope Show and Ed Shaughnessy, the award winning drummer from Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.
