I'm Gil Polanco and I've been banging on the drums in San Antonio for a few years now. I love playing americana, rock, roots, blues, country, and zydeco. I'm currently with Eddie & The Allniters, The Lesti Huff Band, The Flying Pariahs and True Stories. I also play with The Whitinos in Minneapolis.
I've performed as a member or fill-in for the following acts: Maximum Slap, Safe Working Load, Blue Bonnet Plague, The Snake Dance Trio, Suprise Package, Julianne Banks, Los 3 Dinners, 501 Blues, The Lavens, Neal Black, and The Trebel Makers.
I'm on the song "They're Red Hot" which is on "Hot Tamales - A San Antonio Tribute To Robert Johnson" released by Bexar Nekkid Records. I also play on "Estilo San Antonio" by True Stories, "Heathens Rejoice" by The Whitinos, "Sibling Rivalry" by The Lavens and "Where Was The Love" by The Lesti Huff Band. I'm currently working in the studio with Eddie & The Allniters.
I just published my first book "For Reals! Observations by a Brown Guy"
So there.
