Pepe Marquez

Pepe Marquez is a Santa Barbara-based Latin R&B/Soul singer who has been entertaining audiences for the last 35 years with a style that hints of influences like Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and Rocky Padilla — but with a voice all his own.

Cota the Barber

Appearances can be deceiving – consider Cota, a big guy with an even bigger beard, prominent tattoos and a physically imposing presence. The impression changes when he begins to sing with a smooth angelic vocal tone that is reminiscent of the R&B greats who have influenced his artistry.
