Set in Stone PicSet in Stone Brings the Rock to the Brewery

Where: Main Street Brewery, Pleasanton
When: Saturday, January 11th 2013
Time: 9:00p.m. to closing

 This is a 21 and over event.

Forged from the same steel as the classic rock legends, Set in Stone jams life back into the rocking hits that once graced airwaves across the country. This North Cal crew of six knows how to bring the energy to the stage and get their crowd moving. Wherever you need the rock, they’re ready to provide, and provide they will. Nothing but the best old hits and the greatest original pieces for their audience!

But maybe you haven’t heard of them? Take a look at the lineup and get to know the group before they lay their sound on you:

  • Daryl Morales – Lead vocals, acoustic guitar. You’ll be remembering his voice long after the concert’s done, no doubt about.
  • Tony Borges – Lead/rhythm guitar, vocals. Self taught and talented, practiced to perfection.
  • David Borges – Keyboards, vocals. His strong musical background gives him the skill and prowess needed to organize and perfect the arrangement of each song.
  • Lucas Advincula – Bass guitar. “Back in the day,” this guy played with Trauma, replacing Cliff Burton who had left for Metallica. Awesome? Oh yes.
  • Craig Boom – Lead/rhythm guitars, vocals. Brings out the heavy guns and deeper beat, tying the sound together with rhythm and precision.
  • Dave Jayne – Drums, vocals. Spent the last few years touring the country with Ozzborn, the Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Band, and brings all the greatness with him.

Set in Stone is loved by every hot spot they hit. Hotels, breweries, bar and grills, casinos, wherever! Their fan base swells with each gig, and you just might wind up a part of it if you give them a listen.
