L.A. Sound Machine: Live at the Sun Dial

Playing with L.A. Sound Machine means stepping into a rhythmic feel that works nothing like rock or pop — Latin music runs on its own complex rhythmic foundation, one most rock and pop players never fully lock into. The band’s Gloria Estefan tribute set spans more ground than that alone, moving through pop, dance, Latin pop, and even Cuban jazz within the same show. Danny Knapp gets it, switching between bass guitar and stand-up bass to match the demands of each style, and settling into grooves that work nothing like a standard rock pocket.

L.A. Sound Machine Brings the Rhythm to the San Diego County Fair

The San Diego County Fair came alive with the vibrant rhythms of L.A. Sound Machine, Southern California’s top Gloria Estefan tribute band. The crowd was swept into a whirlwind of Latin pop energy as the group delivered a sizzling performance packed with hits like “Conga,” “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You,” and “1-2-3.” With every beat and every note, they brought the spirit of Miami Sound Machine and Gloria Estefan’s solo career roaring back to life. At the heart of the groove was the LASM rhythm section including bass guitarist Danny Knapp, whose tight, driving bass lines anchored the band’s infectious sound and kept the crowd moving all night long.

throwbackthursday October 2019, soundcheck and performance at the Palm Desert Civic Center with LA Sound Machine. It’s only been a year, but seems like forever since we’ve gotten to play in front of a crowd like this. I feel very fortunate that I still get to perform music via online streaming concerts and drive-in shows, but I look forward to seeing all the smiling faces in-person as soon as it’s safe again.
