Eric Sardinas brings his Midnight Junction 2024 tour to The Boardwalk this Saturday, Jan. 13 with special guest Marco Mendoza. Located in the heart of Orangevale, The Boardwalk is one of the area’s long popular music entertainment venues, while Sardinas is is known for his emotional rocking blues.
Sardinas, is an American blues-rock guitarist born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1970. He’s noted for his use of the electric resonator guitar and his powerful live performances.
Sardinas first picked up the guitar at age six and leaned toward vintage recordings by such Delta bluesmen as Charlie Patton, Bukka White, Big Bill Broonzy, Elmore James and Muddy Waters. Although he was a born lefty, he eventually started to play right handed and his impressive style may be due to this fact. “The rawest, most emotional music is what sparked my excitement for the blues,” Eric says. “I still listen to music from the 20s and 30s on a daily basis. That’s where it all began.”
With six albums under his belt, Eric has established himself as one of the premier guitarists and performers of his generation.
Marco Mendoza has recorded and toured with some of the biggest names in the rock and music such as Blue Murder, John Sykes, David Coverdale, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Lynch Mob, Neal Schon, Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries, and The Dead Daisies. The list literally goes on and on!
According to the show bill, Marco is a dynamic live performer who is equally at home at a huge stadium as a small jazz club. He can cover just about any musical style from jazz, fusion, world music, Latin groove to all out hard rock. In addition he is an accomplished vocalist who has written and recorded the highly acclaimed solo albums, ‘Live for Tomorrow’ and ‘Casa Mendoza’. He just recently released his third solo album ‘Viva La Rock’ which has received rave reviews the world over.
Saturday’s show begins at 8:00 p.m. and is 21 and over only. The Boardwalk is located at 9426 Greenback Lane in Orangevale. Tickets and more information can be found at www.rocktheboardwalk.com
