DESCRIPTION:
'Tropical Nites' featuring Ross Costa & Dannie Hofmann is Orange County's 'Most Versatile Duo'. Drawing from a large number of
musical influences these guys play 'Lotsa Music for Many Occasions'! The duo can jazz it up, play some honky tonk country line dances, blast out some classic rockers, segue into some Hawaiian Standards on the Hawaiian Steel Guitar & throw in a ballad or two for you slow dancers !
Ross Costa is a versatile performer who sings, plays guitar, Yamaha Wind Controller, Hawaiian Steel guitar & sequences many of the duo's 'backup band' arrangements on the computer. Cutting his teeth on surf, blues and rock in the 60's, he has transitioned thruout the various musical periods by maintaining an open attitude about performing and a willingness to play for the crowd. He lived in Hawaii for 13 years and learned many Hawaiian songs, some on the Hawaiian steel guitar. He & former partner, Ian Taylor, were the first musicians there in 1984 to use computers for live musical performances. They released two albums in Hawaii and were called the 'Computones'. Check out my website & view my YouTube videos.
Dannie Hofmann has worked with Ross for 2.5 years now filling Pat Salvador's position on tenor sax. Dannie also plays flute on some numbers. He ocassionally tours with Solomon Burke & other artists in Southern California.
They are road ready with lots of experience and the right gear for the job ! Sometimes they'll add a drummer for more fun ! AND...if you would like 2 or more hula dancers & fire knife dancer this can also be arranged to create a real luau experience for your party...the girls dance Hawaiian, Tahitian, Maori, & Samoan numbers and will always get your audience involved !
thank you for considering 'Tropical Nites',
sincerely, Ross Costa
