Ken Garcia grew up in San Bernardino, California and was surrounded by diverse musical influences, from Hispanic to Polynesian. By the age of five, Ken’s uncles frequently encouraged him to play his guitar at family gatherings. Recognizing his strong desire to perform and musical potential, his parents eagerly invested in his future by providing him with guitar and piano lessons. Yet, formal lessons could only take Ken’s raw talent so far. He began teaching himself the art of guitar playing with assistance of books and hands on experience. As his talent and confidence developed, Ken began playing school functions as well as private concerts for friends and family. Ken often fondly notes a smile that his most rewarding performances of this era were those for his father, Ramon, and his construction buddies after a hard day’s work and a few cold beers.   Around age of twenty Ken was faced with the difficult decision of pursuing a career in music or following in his older brother’s footsteps and becoming a dentist. Recently married and wanting to start a family, he opted for dentistry. Upon graduation from Loma Linda School of Dentistry, Ken started a successful practice in Fontana California, close to where he grew up, which he sold prior to opening another new office, Island Dentistry, in Laguna Beach California in 2002. All the while Ken retained his passion for music playing lead guitar with various bands in clubs throughout Southern California and especially in Laguna Beach where he has resided with his family for over 20 years.   Ken differs from other artist in numerous ways. Not only has he maintained an impeccable dental career spanning nearly three decades as well as compiling an impressive body of work musically, including 5 CD’s, and live performances that legends are made of.   His new CD will be coming out this summer: “Nowhere in the Rain”   Ken has always sustained a solid reputation in whichever community he has called home. Ken’s contagious love and zest for life shines through in whatever task he undertakes. Whether he’s performing dentistry, playing music, surfing or spending time with his wife Jody of 40 years or his children Lea & Tayber. Ken gives no less than 100% of himself, 100% of his time. Ken’s multifaceted lifestyle is easily recognizable in his music, be it a soothing melody to provide a healing touch, a rocking jam to lift the spirit, or a simple strummed lullaby to put his daughter Lea or son Tayber to sleep.   Ken’s music is a combination of soulful folk rock with a Latin and Hawaiian flavor. The lyrics, written by Ken, bask in the warm memories of family and friends, often giving thanks to GOD for the opportunity to take part in such an amazing life…. a life that he would like to share with the rest of the world through his music.

“Jake Dameshek started playing the piano by ear at 3 years old! When Jake was asked how he was able to do that? He replied “I just know where the Sounds are!” He started drumming on any surface that could produce a rhythm soon after and began singing as soon as he could speak!   When he was 2 years old he faced the diagnosis of late onset Autism but overcame those challenges after graduating high school! Autism may have had obstacles but it also provided the splinter skill of musical phenom, with the ability to play several instruments. His sensitive hearing gave him perfect pitch! He also has a photographic memory.   Jake attended college with a focus in music! He was an Applied Music major in Vocals, and has trained on the Piano since he was 5!   Jake’s dream is to form a classic rock cover band and return to the Coach House stage
