From: Galveston, Texas
MP3 Sample:
Living
Well from CD, Deja View
Hanna's Reef performs regularly along the Gulf Coast, from
South Texas to Key West, often with a full cast of seven
members. The band creates a "luau" feel, by
combining the tropical elements of steel drums and Latin percussion with the driving beat of
rock and roll.
As the son of a merchant marine from Venezuela and an artist from the jungles of Mexico,
Jerry Diaz has both the nautical spirit and the gypsy flair
necessary to lead his band of tropical troubadours.
Born and raised on the upper Texas coast, Jerry gives listeners a glimpse of the coastal lifestyle in just about every song he writes. From songs about Key West, Florida, to songs about New Orleans, and the Texas beach towns that he's grown up in, Diaz takes you on a musical journey of boats, beaches, and bars.
Founded in July 2002, Hanna's Reef typically features the songwriting of Diaz, including both familiar favorites from the earlier years, plus new compositions.
In his solo performances, Diaz mixes a combination of original tunes, Jimmy Buffett favorites, and other "tropical" tunes.
