Del Rio goes retro with the Bloomfields
HOTEL del Rio is going on full retro mode this December 8 as it celebrates its 41st anniversary with a dinner show that is sure to take you back to the halcyon days of the 60s.
Experience Rock N' Roll like you've never seen or heard it before with the Bloomfields, a band of twenty-somethings delivering 60s music as if they were born to it.

"These kids have what it takes to hit the big time," said rock and roll guru Ramon Jacinto aka RJ. Or, as sports writer, motoring columnist, and music freak Al Mendoza, said, "I found The Bloomfields to be more than good. Hey, they can hack it. They are like a bunch of Lebrons storming the NBA: They are boys tossed into a man's world but, boy oh boy, they can give their elders a run for their money anytime."
The Bloomfields are comprised of five young gentlemen (all LaSalle Greenhills graduates) who have taken a liking for the rock and roll music of the 60s. Don't mistake them for a cover/show band, for these guys take their 60s music seriously. Embracing influences from classic rock 'n roll to contemporary British pop-rock acts, The Bloomfields take pride in their musical prowess and deep melodic roots.
To them, music by The Beatles, The Beachboys, The Shadows, The Ventures, Dave Clark 5, Cliff Richard, Chris Montez and other rock n' roll greats is nothing less than pure and true.

"It's happy music" as they like to call it and happy you will be when you listen, sing along, bop your head, dance, twist, shout, smile and laugh to the music of The Bloomfields.
With JJ Lozano (22) on the lead Rickenbacker (the guitar John Lennon used), Louie Poco (21) on the bass Rickenbacker (also a Mcartney Favorite), Pepe Lozano (24) on the electric guitar, Lakan Hila (24) on piano/organ/keyboards and Rocky Collado (21) on the drums, The Bloomfields promise everyone a boogie-good time.
Be it a young High school/college crowd, to young professionals, to corporate heads and yes, even our parents, everyone agrees that the Band is truly like no other.
