Savor was formed to honor the more than 50-year career of latin-rock legend Carlos Santana — from the raw power of the self-titled album issued in 1969 to the recent spate of hits with current stars.that makes Santana’s music so well-loved. The diverse background of Savor’s rhythm section meshes perfectly when they play as a unit, which is why the complex interweaving of classic latin rhythms are so adroitly handled by this trio. Drummer Billy Haarbauer’s subtle, relentless groove meshes perfectly with the percussion team of Lorenzo Martinez (congas, bongos) and Chico Hernandez (congas, timbales). Complementing the rhythm section is bassist Rick Thibodeau, whose soulful flavor rounds out the famous Santana groove, while vocalist Steven Elowe’s impressive range and power add fuel to the fire. Keyboardist David Jefferson captures the sound of each of the decades, from the bluesy organ style of Gregg Rolie to the later, jazzier flavor of Tom Coster and Chester Thompson. Guitarist Michael Caroff delivers every trademark Santana lick, as well as the gritty tone and singing sustain that make the songs so memorable. Together, Savor pays fitting tribute to the popular, timeless sound that makes Santana’s music so well-loved. [less-]

Born into a life of comedy, Pauly Shore is seared into the public consciousness for his attention-grabbing comedic talents and his meteoric rise to notoriety in the 1990s with starring roles in popular film comedies acting-up as MTV “VJ” and show host and performing his stand-up at national comedy clubs including legendary venue The Comedy Store – where Pauly continues to work and perform. An entertainment career was virtually pre-ordained for Pauly Montgomery Shore. At age 4, he sat on the lap of The King himself in the company of his father comedian Sammy Shore who opened for Elvis during the early ’70s. Around the same time, Pauly’s mother Mitzi and father opened The Comedy Store on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip giving their son the rare opportunity to hang out and be inspired by such rising talents as Robin Williams David Letterman and the late Sam Kinison who became Pauly’s mentor. At 17, Pauly began writing and performing his own material creating the persona of “The Weizel,” a character that quickly appealed to young audiences. In 1990, Pauly caught the attention of MTV and the network gave him his own show "Totally Pauly". His initial success on television led to a three movie deal with Disney beginning with the box-office hit "Encino Man" co-starring Sean Astin and Brendan Fraser. Pauly followed up "Encino Man" with the popular comedies "Son-in-Law", "In the Army Now", "Jury Duty" and "Bio-Dome". [less-]
