“Leading The Next Generation in Tex-Mex Music"

Fasten your seat belts and sit back because you are about to go for a cruise on the ultimate Tex-Mex adventure with the TEX-MEX KADILLAKS.

With the versatility to play any genre of music, the “Kadillaks” are quickly emerging as leaders of the new generation in Tejano/Tex-Mex Music. Based in the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, the “Kadillaks” have become one the hardest-working and sought after groups in all of South Texas since the inception of their career in the spring of 2005.

Their “Tex-Mex” style is a musical fusion of the different eras that the industry has evolved to over the years: Conjunto, La Onda Chicana, Tex-Mex Country, Música Tejana & Regional Mexican. Many would say that they are an “old school style” group with just the right modern and progressive elements to make their music appealing to both older and younger audiences. Whatever the case, the versatility of this band will put you on the dance floor and make you sweat up a storm, whether it’s a classic cover song or one of their original recordings.

As a new artist in the industry, its members bring many years of experience to the table; they are ex-members to the following great artists: BOBBY PULIDO, EMILIO NAVAIRA, FANDANGO USA and ALBERT ZAMORA. The members of the group are guitarist, Isaac Bazan; lead vocalist and keyboardist, Jesse Flores; drummer and percussionist, Paul Anthony Layton; lead vocalist and guitarist, Fernando Salinas and accordionist, Guillermo “Gizmo” García.

Aside from performing with various groups in the industry, Bazan’s previous musical stint was a six-year tenure as lead-guitarist for international recording artist Bobby Pulido; Flores also spent his early part of his career performing with various artists before landing keyboard and vocal positions with Fandango USA and a four-year stint with Emilio Navaira, Flores was also recognized by his peers when he received Keyboard Player of the Year at the 1999 Texas Talent Musician Association Industry Awards; Layton comes from a deep-rooted musical family and is the son of legendary-accordionist Benny Layton, who performs with of one of the Rio Grand Valley’s most popular groups “Los Hermanos Layton”, Layton recently won Rising Star Drummer of the Year at the 2006 South Texas Conjunto Awards, his previous stint was playing drums with Albert Zamora. Aside from previously having his own group, Salinas’ singing versatility has enabled him to sing lead vocals for both country and tex-mex groups in the Rio Grande Valley for years. García is making his professional debut as a musician and is a student of the great Benny Layton; he is the latest recipient of the Rising Star Accordion Player of the Year award at the 2006 South Texas Conjunto Awards.
