About Me

Rock is back! Union of Saints is Classic Rock for the New Millennium. "Union of Saints offers one of the best classic rock-influenced concerts to be found in the unsigned market. " Bob Leggett, Music Connection
They may not all be saints, although some would argue the fact that when it comes to Union of Saints talent, there may be some Divine intervention. Formed in March 2001, this 6 piece California band can rock with the best of them, and have. Recently, Union of Saints has opened for The Motels, Eddie Money, Michael Schenker (UFO), The Alarm, Vince Neil (Motley Crue) and many other national acts.
With a sound that is both powerful and melodic, Union of Saints has amassed a respectable following on the strength of their live performances promoting their debut CD "If We Live". The band has been a consistent draw in venues such as The Roxy Theatre, The Coach House, The Galaxy Theatre and The House of Blues.
As their fan base continues to grow, Union of Saints has also captured the attention of two legendary artists. Mulit-Grammy award winner Bobby Kimball, lead singer of Toto, has himself praised frontman Dexter Espinoza and the band. "I've know Dex for many years and I've always enjoyed his voice and his music. In our early experiences together, I recorded some things with his previous band, but Union of Saints is his best effort to date. I played a few songs with them at The House of Blues recently and I was amazed at how great they sound live. So many times the studio becomes the enemy of a new band because they cannot re-create what is on the CD. This can't be said about Union of Saints. Their impact on stage is the same as that on the record". Renowned singer/songwriter Jennifer Warnes had just recently heard the Union of Saints CD and commented "This is some of the freshest music I've ever heard!"
Union of Saints brand of rock is proving to have a broad audience appeal and a wide market acceptance. They are aggressively building a regional fan base and are currently writing and recording new material while seeking a recording contract in the United States and internationally.
Union of Saints' live performances are punctuated with dynamics and the emotional energy runs on high. They draw you in. You feel the impact of every word they are singing. The audience walks away knowing they have been allowed into their soul.
The mark of a superstar group is one who transcends boundaries to get to the very heart and soul of people - all people. This is Union of Saints.
