The Gand Band: The Prince Of Motown

The Prince of Motown – Marvin Gaye

The Gand Band presents Marvin Gaye: The Prince of Motown, a soulful celebration of one of music’s most iconic voices. From silky smooth ballads to irresistible grooves, we bring the romance, rhythm, and soul of Marvin Gaye to life in an unforgettable night of Motown magic featuring Dion Khan, joined by Angie Whitney.

Featuring classics like “Let’s Get It On,” “Mercy, Mercy Me,” “What’s Going On,” “Sexual Healing,” and “How Sweet It Is.”

Marvin Gaye helped to shape the sound of Motown and soul music in the 1960s. A cultural icon, Gaye is often considered one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time. In addition to the two Grammys and American Music Award, Gaye's accolades include the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and inductions into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

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.
