It’s a little concert you might have heard of. 1969. Woodstock. When Jimi Hendrix took the stage and pointed to the crowd of thousands, sitting right behind him was his percussionist: Gerardo Velez.
Since then, Gerardo has performed in virtually every genre and every country, collaborating with artists like David Bowie, Sir Elton John, Duran Duran, Slash from Guns & Roses, and everyone from Stevie Wonder to Jessica Simpson. If the movies has the “Kevin Bacon Game,” the music industry has the “Gerardo Velez Game”: everyone links back to him. He’s been nominated for 7 Grammy’s. He’s romped through the charts of Billboard.
As a music director with over 25 years experience, he’s produced events for clients like HBO, Miramax, the New York Stock Exchange, Comedy Central, United Way, and the NFL.
Gerardo continues to wow audiences and is now creating “Velez Sez” a one man show. “Velez Sez” is complete with high energy music, and dance. “Velez Sez” is soon to be featured on ClubPlanet.com.
