 Gregg Rolie, co-founder of two multi-platinum super groups, Santana and Journey, will be performing with his quartet at the Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton, CA on September 21, 2013. Gregg Rolie's performance at the Firehouse comes on the heels of his recent tours with Ringo Starr's All Star Band.

Gregg will also answer questions from the audience during the show. After the performance, there will be a meet and greet with the audience and Gregg and the band will be on hand for pictures and autographs.
Says Gregg, “The Gregg Rolie Quartet is an extension of the duo with Gregg Rolie and Texas blues guitarist Alan Haynes. We added my longtime friend and drummer from the Gregg Rolie Band, Ron Wikso, and the bass player is Sticky Lopez out of Austin, TX.”
