West Ranch To Host Huntertones Concert In September

Huntertones, a Brooklyn-based sextet that has thrilled music lovers around the globe with their fun, imaginative and fearless music, is coming to the Santa Clarita Valley for a special one-night performance.

The concert is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 30, at 6:30 p.m. at the West Ranch High School Theater. General admission is $15, and students are $10.

With its heavy horn-driven compositions that meld jazz, funk, soul, hip hop, gospel, R&B, and rock, Huntertones produces a signature sound that resonates with all types of audiences.

 Every show is a celebration of the joy of music.

The band’s mission is simple: create live music on real instruments that will often make you think and always make you move.

Over the past 10 years, Huntertones has performed in more than 25 countries worldwide and the band continues to tour the United States and abroad.

Their upcoming release, Motionation, is a manifestation of a band with unlimited imagination and an ever-growing desire to find new ways to express themselves.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have Huntertones play a concert at West Ranch High School,” said Brian Leff, director of Jazz Studies at West Ranch. “Their tour brings them to venues all over the country, including Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and many of their stops are at 21 and over venues.  Hosting an all-ages show is special, and allows our students to experience this great band.”

In addition to performing, this group is dedicated to sharing music with students of all ages.

Over the past 10 years, the Huntertones have instructed more than 200 master classes around the world to students of all ages.

Their engaging programs encourage students to work toward their goals and inspire them to work together.

In keeping with that goal, the members of Huntertones will hold a free clinic at West Ranch on the day of the concert starting at 3:30 p.m.; the clinic is open to all interested parties.

Leff said that while Huntertones’ music appeals to people of all ages, it has become especially popular with music students and the younger crowd.

“Their high energy, feel-good groove-driven music is really exciting and fun to listen to,” Leff said. “They are showing students what an ensemble can look like in today’s music scene, but still rooted in the jazz and improvisation tradition.”

About Carl Goldman

Carl Goldman, along with his wife, Jeri repurchased KHTS AM-1220, Santa Clarita’s hometown station on October 24, 2003. They owned it from 1990-1998, and then sold it to Clear Channel Communication in 1998, buying it back from Clear Channel in 2003. Since then, they have rebuilt KHTS as a critical voice of the Valley. In 2015 the radio station moved to its new headquarters on Main Street in Old Town Newhall, in the original Newhall Hardware building. In 2018 an FM was added, 98.1, with its signal being simulcast with AM-1220. In January 2020, Carl and Jeri cruised on the Diamond Princess. Carl was one of the first Americans to come down with Covid-19. Months earlier he was impacted by Guillain Barre Syndrome as a result of a Shingles vaccine in September 2019. He is still in recovery from the vaccine.
