Serenade schedule set

Santana tribute is series finale

The lineup for Anderson's free outdoor music festival was recently announced by Anderson Parks and Recreation Department.

Performances are scheduled for Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. in Anderson River Park in the Gaia Hotel Amphitheatre, KC Grove, 2800 Rupert Rd.

The only non-Wednesday scheduled is on July 3 at the Shasta District fairgrounds to coincide with the Anderson Explodes! fireworks display.

The concert series ends with Santana tribute band Caravan Serai, which has played together for 12 years and regularly performs for crowds of 4,000, band leader and lead guitarist Leo Herrera said.

Santana was a popular latin-blues rock band in the 1960s. They recorded hits such as Oye Como Va, Black Magic Woman and Evil Ways.

"We play authentic renditions of Santana music from the early days to today," Herrera said, adding that Santana alumni often perform with Caravan Serai.
