The Grind is a 5-piece classic rock and soul band which has been performing in the Inland Empire and beyond since 1988. Most of the members have played together in various combinations for more than 30 years, and it is readily apparent in the band's tightness and professionalism. All the members have extensive stage, studio, & television experience.
Although their song list encompasses a wide variety of musical styles, the band is especially known for performing material by Santana and various East L.A Latin Soul groups. In fact, they can also perform as a Santana tribute act upon request.
