Gand Band: Hey Hey We're the Monkees!

Celebrating the 60-year anniversary of the creation of the Monkees with an encore performance of the immersive multi-media show created for Modernism Week!

Winner of the CV Independent’s Best Local Band for FOUR years running, this dynamic husband and wife team bring their Chicago sound to the desert.

Veteran bluesman Gary Gand handles the six strings, driving the band, channeling a bit of Freddie King, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck rolled into one. Keyboardist Joan Gand grooves on classic Hammond B-3 style organ and blues piano with inspiration from Booker T, Ray Charles, and Otis Spann.

Throughout this series of monthly concerts, special guests will join the Gand Band including top notch performers from both Chicago and San Diego.

The Gand Band appears in the film,"My Name is Lopez" - a documentary about 60s celebrity vocalist/actor Trini Lopez. Trini was a frequent guest performer until his death in 2020.
