Abel Sanchez has been leading his band, Abel and the Prophets, for more than 50 years.
In the late 60s, his band became one of San Francisco’s premier house bands, opening many of the Bay Area hot spot nightclubs and packing the house with their soulful sounds. As a result of growing up in the southeast area of San Francisco, Soul music, as it was called back in the day, was the DNA of this band's music. Ultimately, the diversity of all the sounds and music happening in the Bay Area during those times became reflected in the band's music and continues to this day. They were signed by Fantasy Records in 1970, and that’s when the band began its flight of performing, touring, and recording, and has been performing ever since.
The music and evolution of the band has expanded over the years, with them playing music ranging from Rhythm & Blues, Funk, and Latin Rock, ultimately adding a touch of Jazz to the set as they let the eagle fly! Throughout their diverse set and performances over the years, there have always been surprises as they continually invite an assortment of various friends and musicians who are also in their own right seasoned and ready to add to the night. Thus, Abel and the Prophets & Friends are the billing on many nights, and they always invite everyone to come out, enjoy, and experience their show.
