San Diego’s premiere electric guitarist, Peter Sprague has performed with everyone from Chick Corea and Diane Reeves to David Benoit and Charlie Hayden, plus every single San Diego jazz player who can keep up with him. The groups Peter has established for making music include Brasilia, Pass The Drum, and The String Consort.

Y & T featuring Dave Meniketti

Before Mötley Crüe, before RATT, even before there was a Metallica, Y&T was slogging away in sweaty rock clubs around America. When the band formed in the early 1970s, little did they know they would set the standard for hard rock bands. Y&T is one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s own innovators of the hard rock sound. World-renowned headliners on their own, the band also remained the most requested support act on the hard rock road, touring with icons Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, and more.

9/15

Since 2010, Ant has undertaken a major reactivation of his musical career, performing live regularly in his hometown London and beyond, recording a new album and with a UK national tour now completed. His present comeback continues and thrives!
