Born in Berkeley, California, Howard Wiley displayed a unique musical talent from a very young age, while performing at his local Gospel church. Wiley says “the first time I picked up the saxophone, it became a part of me, like an additional limb, I knew I had found my purpose.”

Wiley studied the saxophone in high school, was selected to be a member of the Grammy All-American Jazz Band two years in a row at 14 and 15 years old. He travelled to both New York and Los Angeles performing with the best young musicians in the country at various activities related to Grammy Week. The following year, he was selected to participate in the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz’s All-Star Band. This band of young lions studied andperformed with jazz greats including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Gerald Albright, and many others. Wiley then received a scholarship to Berklee School of Music; where he would graduate with honors. During his time with the Institute, Howard also met and collaborated with other rising stars of Jazz in Los Angeles, including Kamasi Washington, Tony Austin, Miles Mosley and more (the collective now known as the West Coast Get Down). To this day, Howard is still a member; recording and touring with them worldwide when not working on his solo projects.

At the age of 15, he released his first CD as a leader with the local press review stating “…this CD signals the arrival of the San Francisco Bay’s newest diamond in the rough.” In 2007 Wiley released his third album, The Angola Project, comprising ensemble pieces inspired by 1950s recordings from Angola State Prison. According to Jazz critic Daniel King of the San Francisco Chronicle, “What makes Wiley’s album a great listen is his textural range, his less-is-more compositional approach and his patience as a soloist. Instead of packing notes into every bar, he places them thoughtfully into well-paced improvisations.”

Wiley’s love of jazz and arranging led him to fuse his jazz sounds with funk. Ever the soulful live musician, Howard has built a strong reputation for presenting jazz shows ‘that you can dance to’. On experiencing Wiley in a live setting, journalist Drew Foxman writes, “…he befitted a dignified presence by displaying his deep reverence for the musicians with whom he was collaborating, unmasking the persona of an unassuming leader. This is a musician who understands his sound, not only in an ensemble, but in the history of music. This humility, though, translates into downright explosiveness on the bandstand.”

Howard Wiley has toured internationally, recorded and performed with artists including Miss Lauryn Hill, Sheila E, Cory Henry, Christian McBride, Chester Thompson and more. He is a Founding member of the new Bay Area collective BLACK LONDON, who are currently performing in and around Northern California. He has performed worldwide with other artists and with his solo project at the San Francisco Jazz Festival, Playboy Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Fest, Blue Note Club, Madrone Art Bar, Cape Town Jazz Festival, the Grammy Museum, Yoshi’s Oakland, Malcolm X Jazz Festival, Sonoma Jazz Festival, Smalls NY and SXSW, to name a few. Recently, he was also a featured artist performing his original music for the official new APPLE iPhone commercial and global conference.

Orquesta Bembe is a formation of twenty musicians playing authentic salsa music. 
Orquesta Bembe started in 2001 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as a jam session for professional musicians from mixed culteres, with the purpose to play authentic salsa music on a high level. 
Travelling back and forth from Puerto Rico to New York in the booming years of salsa music gave the director and founder of Bembe, Fernando Luis Garcia, the experience to recreate today the 'on fire' sound of those years and pass his knowledge and flavour on to other musicians. 
Under his guidance the jam session grew out to be a professional big band with a repertoire including all styles like rumba, guaguancó, cha cha cha, bolero, bomba, merengue and latin jazz; songs from all the great 'masters' of salsa from the fifties up till now and original tunes by Fernando Luis Garcia. 
The band keeps innovating and adding new tunes to the repertoire, in an effort to do justice to the originals and their composers,by bringing out the 'authentic fire' of salsa music. 
Being a 20 piece orchestra makes orquesta Bembe unique in the salsa scene, its reminiscent sound and overwhelming rythms are garanteed to make any audience dance.

San Jose is one of the first stops on Cuco’s 4U Tour, a 24-show North American run this September. This tour will take Cuco to some of his biggest venues yet, including the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, Terminal 5 in NY, and the legendary Greek Theatre in his hometown of Los Angeles.  Pitchfork describes his bedroom-pop music as “up-close yet emotionally distant pop that beckoned to millions of Gen Z streamers, a restless space existing somewhere between dissociative pop and lo-fi study beats.”

Also on the bill is Strawberry Guy, a self-described “impressionist musician” from the U.K. whose 2019 indie pop single “Mrs. Magic” blew up on Tik Tok and launched his solo career, and Thee Heart Tones, a group of Chicano Soul artists from Southern California who call themselves "young people with old souls who make music that is loved by all ages."    

Cuco se embarca en el 4U Tour, una gira norteamericana de 24 espectáculos en septiembre. Esta gira llevará a Cuco a algunos de sus lugares más importantes hasta el momento, incluido el Teatro Riviera en Chicago, la Terminal 5 en Nueva York y el legendario Teatro Griego en su ciudad natal de Los Ángeles. La gira marca las primeras fechas de Cuco desde que encabezó un escenario en Tyler, The Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Festival el año pasado. 

En la primera semana de su gira, Cuco actuará en The Greek Theatre de Los Ángeles, coincidiendo con el Día de la Independencia de México. El espectáculo será una celebración vibrante de la cultura y el patrimonio mexicanos, marcando tanto la importancia del Día de la Independencia como un hito importante en la carrera de Cuco mientras actúa en su ciudad natal. Además, el comediante René Vaca y DJ Wyldeflower (KCRW) abrirán la velada, y The Mariachi Rams (la banda de mariachi oficial de LA Rams) se unirá a Cuco en el escenario para interpretar algunas canciones especiales.

En 2023 se lanzó el EP Hitchhiker más reciente de Cuco, que fue grabado en Big Bad Studios en su ciudad natal de Los Ángeles y cuenta con créditos de producción de Michael Beinhorn (Soundgarden, Hole, Red Hot Chili Peppers). El EP siguió a su segundo álbum, Fantasy Gateway, que Pitchfork describió como de "brillo recién descubierto" y marcó la apertura de un nuevo capítulo.

Fusing a West Coast sound with his Polynesian roots, Southern California musician J Boog brings Pacific Island influences to Caribbean reggae roots music.  

Jerry “J Boog” Afemata was born in Long Beach and was raised in Compton, California. Steeped in Samoan culture and as the son of a Samoan chief, J Boog is the youngest of seven brothers—and one sister who was one of his earliest musical influences.  He sang along to her piano when she brought home a Bob Marley songbook.  Other siblings introduced him to rap and R&B, which allowed J Boog a sense of freedom to be himself.  The variety of influences combined with reggae’s feel good sound set J Boog on a path to create his own distinctive sound.

HIs 2011 breakthrough album “Backyard Boogie” topped the US Billboard and iTunes charts in numerous countries.  Hits included “Let’s Do It Again”, produced by legendary Don Corleon, and “Sunshine Girl”, produced by Gramps Morgan/Dada-son.   Backyard Boogie’s success earned J Boog the Best New Entertainer Award at the 2012 International Reggae and World Music Awards held in Chicago.

J Boog tours worldwide to enthusiastic audiences. This will be his fourth appearance at San Jose’s Music in the Park, where he continues to draw record numbers at shows that are among the musical highlights of the year.

A San Francisco born vocalist, with parents from Nicaragua, this singer/songwriter draws influence from the music of his upbringing; R&B, Hip-hop, Salsa, Baladas and combines them with the affluent Latin rhythms. Since the release of his debut salsa album "Vive Todo Ahora", Carlos' songs have been placed in the top Salsa/Tropical Spotify playlists. It generated buzz all over the world making him a preferred voice in the salsa genre. His roots in the Latin power vocal style produce warm, beautiful tones as he exhales his melodies. The singer songwriter engages his audience with his pure, passionate vocals and Carlos is able to rise up and shine. His sound is very identifiable to the Latin American community as it draws from Latin Balada roots and meshes them with R&B and Pop, creating original sounding salsa songs. His melodies are expressed through his passionate lyrics and his desire to reach people’s souls.
