German-born guitarist-singer Volker Strifler plays with a rare blend of fire, restraint and clarity. His creative style is rooted in the Blues but offers innovative explorations into Rock, Jazz, and Latin rhythms, with several stops in New Orleans along the way! The pace can be fast and raucous or laid back and down home, but most of all - it’s FUN!
Seeing the Volker Strifler Band perform live is a truly great experience. All but very few of the songs in their repertoire are original songs written by Volker. His combined talents as a guitar player and singer, but also as a songwriter set him apart from the crowd.

MOMOTOMBO SF is a 10 piece group of prominent San Francisco Bay Area musicians, comprised mainly of notable alumni of Malo and Santana. Their emphasis is on musicianship and improvisational creativity, with the intention of keeping the Latin Rock legacy alive through sharing their music in live concert format.
MOMOTOMBO SF concerts feature the music of both Malo and Santana, the iconic San Francisco native bands from which MOMOTOMBO SF's core members came. Their mastery of the exciting interplay of Latin Jazz and Rock, driven by Latin rhythms and Afro Cuban beats, creates a powerful and authentic Latin Rock sound straight from the adventurous, psychedelic days of Winterland and The Fillmore. The name MOMOTOMBO SF comes from the title of the first song on 1972's Malo Dos album, "Momotombo," which is also an active volcano on the shores of Lago de Managua, Nicaragua. SF is for San Francisco, where the explosive sounds of groundbreaking Latin Rock erupted. Come experience the fire!
