For nearly two decades Viva Santana have been re-creating the classic Santana sounds & performing Santana’s Greatest Hits and More.

We take audiences on a ride through the rock and roll classics of Bob Seger and Creedence Clearwater Revival that drives crowds of all ages to the dance floor.
On June 28 it is time to get funky with the hottest horn line this side of Oakland! Hipper than Hip was formed in 2015 with the goal of bringing back the classic sounds of great horn line bands. We drew inspiration mostly from Tower of Power and then added Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, Aretha, Tina, Stevie, Bruno, and more. If they had a great horn line, and our fans would love it, we wanted to play their music.
