Folks of all ages are quick to grab their dancing shoes when the Altons start to play their energetic soul-rock with a twist of Latin-inspired flavors and rhythms. Fans say this fun band from East Los Angeles has created a new era of oldies and soul. Fusing genres, the Altons pump out their unique Southern California “souldies” sound. Lead singers Bryan Ponce and Adriana Flores can deliver earnest duets with palpable chemistry, with soulful guitar leads that inspire swaying couples to dance a little closer. The Altons’ frisky rhythm section (bassist Chris Manjarrez and drummer Caitlin Moss, plus Flores on percussion) drives the sound with intense grooves, while blazing guitar licks from Ponce (AND GUITARIST JOEY QUINONES? PLEASE CHECK WHETHER HE WILL BE JOINING THE BAND AT LIVE OAK) pack a punch.
