Description
"Unique" is a fitting description.
Rey Fresco's lead instrument is a 36 string Veracruz harp accompanied by soulful vocals, a pumping bassline, & a booming drum sound resonating from a kit built out of surfboard fiberglass.
Lead singer Roger Keiaho was born in the south pacific Fijian islands; self-taught drummer Andrew Jones creates his own custom fiberglass drum kits using a surfboard-making technique; Ventura, CA native Shawn Echevarria picked up the bass in high school & never looked back; Xocoyotzin Moraza is the harpist, guitarist, & requinto jarocho player in the ensemble.
The unique instrumentation & original songwriting has lead Rey Fresco to organically build a buzz. The VC Reporter put it best when they proclaimed Rey Fresco is "preparing to explode."

The VC Reporter calls Rey Fresco "An eclectic, multicultural group of guys with authentic passion for music." The four band members all became friends in high school, but it was not until years later that they started playing music together. Lead singer Roger Keiaho w...Links
