Take a look at the bands we've lined up for the 2015-2016 Season. Just click on the links:

The Agency  

The Agency plays classic rock with passion, drive and authenticity. The band also plays standards and swing. The Agency features sounds of a horn section and tight, 5-part harmonies. 
 

Country Roland, Jr. 

A new band to us this season, Country Roland Jr. carries on a strong musical family tradition.  His father, Country Roland, Sr.  played in the early 70’s and recorded old Spanish songs with a different genre.  Today that genre is known as Country Roland style.  In 1999, Country Roland, Jr. returned to the music business and he has been in demand in clubs and for private parties.  He is now very popular with Winter Texans in the valley. 

Diego Saurina  

Diego plays a variety of music including ballads, Latin, Country and Rock and Roll.  If you like to polka, waltz, cha-cha, meringue, country two-step, and more, you’ll enjoy Diego. 

Pelican West

Pelican West is also a new band to us this season but several of us have enjoyed them at Trophy Garden’s dances.  They play good old rock and roll.

Ralph and The Cruisers  

This band plays a variety of musical genres with oldies Rock-n-Roll as the core of their repertoire. This includes Pop, Rock, Country, Blues, Latin, and Jazz with a focus on Hits and Standards from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. With a particular affinity for members of the Baby Boom Generation, their wide variety of music appeals to a diverse range of ages.  Ralph and the Cruisers have been voted THE ROCK and ROLL BAND OF THE YEAR for three years in a row by Winter Texan fans and Activity Directors.

 Route 66   

Route 66 is a local Rio Grande Valley dance band playing a variety of music ranging from popular dance music and country/western to classic rock. 

 

Sweet Water  

Sweet Water plays mainly country music, but also plays classic rock, and Tejano music ... a Texas blend of Mexican music.
