Shana Morrison & The Claddagh Band Reunion Celebration and West Coast Blues Festival Hosted by Andy Santana and Special Guests

Soulful Irish troubadour and local favorite, Kevin Brennan, and his Claddagh Band make a triumphant return to take the stage with Shana Morrison for what promises to be a very special day of music at the Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show, April 25 at Half Moon Bay Airport.

	Shana Morrison & The Claddagh Band
	Special thanks to Grant Walters for his generous support in making music an important part of the mix that makes the Dream Machines a success.

The Brennan-Morrison musical connection goes way back. In Belfast, Ireland, 16 year-old Kevin Brennan was in a band called The Great Eight with Shana's father, Van Morrison. Eventually, Kevin moved to the Bay Area where he formed the Celtic-based Claddagh Band. Years later, Van and Kevin would meet up again with Kevin opening for several of Van's Bay Area concerts.

Meanwhile, Van’s then-teenage daughter, Shana, began her own musical journey. With Van's advice, she tapped into her Celtic roots and began singing with Kevin Brennan and his Claddagh Band. Kevin worked and performed with Shana until she was ready to form her own band.

In 1996, Shana Morrison borrowed brilliant guitarist and pedal steel player, Robert Powell, and other talented musicians and took her newly formed Caledonia Band on a successful tour. From 2006 through 2008, Shana performed alongside Van Morrison during his U.S. and U.K. tour dates.

Shana has just released a promising album, "Joyride", and comes to the Dream Machines stage to lend her considerable talent to help raise money for the Adult Day Health Center and to join her dear friend Kevin Brennan in a series of Reunion Concerts.

Shana Morrison & The Claddagh Band perform from 11 am to 1 pm.

Andy Santana Terry Hanck

Then, stay tuned for the Dream Machines Festival of West Coast Blues hosted by The Andy Santana Band with a stellar lineup of special guests including Terry Hanck (sax), Johnny Cat Soubrand (guitar), Todd Tone Gilbert (gospel vocalist), Anthony Paule (guitar), and other surprises.

Harmonica master, Andy Santana is a smooth, dynamic vocalist and harmonica player with a sophisticated, urban style. Santana's band has been house band for the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans. His latest CD,"Take me with You" is an outstanding roots music compilation of soul, blues, jump, R&B and funk by a NorCal music legend of 30 years.

Terry Hanck is well known for his hard blowing sax, incredible range and gusty vocals. Born in Chicago, Hanck was heavily influenced by the blues, soul and jazz music of the 50’s and early 60's. He toured with Elvin Bishop through most of the 70’s and 80's. His signature sound features a mix of New Orleans Gumbo, West Coast Jump and East Bay Funk, all delivered with a heavy dose of blues and soul.

The Festival of West Coast Blues runs from 1 pm to 4 pm.

Big Crawdaddy, the coastside's Mardi Gras band, will get it all started, serving up the soulful sounds of Ray Charles, Buckheat Zydeco, Louis Prima and more. They open the show at 10 am.

Enjoy some of the Bay Area's top street musicians while wandering among the incredible machines. You can't keep still when you hear the Caribbean calypso steel drum music of Harry Best and Shabang! One verse of the uplifting rhythms fills the dance floor with people moving the beat of Calypso, Reggae, Zouk, and Soca. Al Fabrizio and his partner Hugo Wainzinger of Heartstrings Music are sure to touch hearts with their beautiful string ensemble, featuring Fabrizio's expressive "tremolo" style on the Neapolitan mandolin.
