About Lucas Sanchez:

Born and raised in the musically-rich San Francisco Bay Area, Lucas Sanchez is an up and coming guitarist, singer/songwriter, and composer, whose music is assured to grab your attention. His music is a carefully crafted cocktail of sounds that draw inspiration from rock, blues, funk, pop, jazz, and more. Lucas’s guitar work is energetic and distinct with underlying tones of Hendrix, Clapton, Satriani, and Stevie Ray Vaughan; while his songwriting is influenced by masters like Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, Sting, and Dave Matthews.

Lucas plays routinely around the Bay Area as a solo artist and a member of the band Sugar Bear. Some of the venues Lucas has played at in the past include Blacksmith Square, Wente Vineyards, Freight and Salvage, Yoshi's, Las Positas College (for TEDxLivermore), DNA Lounge, Hotel Utah, Darcie Kent Vineyards, and the Alameda County Fair; just to name a few.

Lucas’ educational background started when he began attending Las Positas College (which he later earned his music degree from) where he studied classical music, jazz, voice, guitar, and composition. After his time as Las Positas, he earned a scholarship to attend the California Jazz Conservatory in Berkeley where he spent his time studying various forms of jazz improvisation and composition.

In 2020 Lucas released his very first original work. He released a six-track EP of all original music to showcase his musical abilities. This self-titled EP is available on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, etc.). Lucas also collaborates with artists through studio work and song writing. So far his main collaborations include Moonlight Jack and DELE. Lucas’ music is impossible to classify under one genre. He draws influence from many styles of music, new and old, all while making it, unmistakably, his own.

“I play music because I love music, and I feel strongly that creating and playing music is what I was born to do. Music is a gift to everyone and a force of nature that can change the world. I wish to use music to spread peace, understanding, love, acceptance, and diversity throughout the world, and to help abolish as much hatred in the world as I can. I hope to inspire people to pick up an instrument themselves or to, at least, venture out and experience more live music, so that they too can find their love of music and discover the extraordinary healing properties that music possesses.” - Lucas Sanchez

About Jenny Madrigal:

Jenny grew up in Ahwatukee, Arizona. When she was four years old, her parents noticed she had a speech impediment. At the time, her mom could not find a speech therapist who had openings. Instead, she found a private vocal instructor who recognized Jenny’s ear for music. Jenny’s speech improved and she has been singing ever since. She grew up singing in choirs, local musicals, and singing The National Anthem at various sporting events.

In Boston, MA Jenny attended Berklee College of Music where she received a dual bachelor’s of music in Music Therapy and Music Business Management and continued her studies in Music Therapy at various local hospitals such as Harvard Vanguard. At Berklee, she was involved in the Latin Jazz and Steven Sondheim Vocal Ensembles. At Berklee, she met Phil Didlake, a Livermore local who was also pursuing a Music Therapy degree at the time.

Jenny and her husband Phil Didlake started Rhythmic Innovation LLC, a company which provides rhythm events for education, wellness and community. As a board-certified music therapist, Jenny provides professional music therapy services for groups and individuals of all abilities.

Jenny and Phil can be found playing live music locally in Livermore and supporting the Meredith McHenry band and Lucas Sanchez Trio.
