Hailing from Glendale, CA, bandleader Manuel Martinez started writing songs at the age of 14, drawing inspiration from bands like Led Zeppelin, the Police, and Yes. His musical influences now span from classic rock of the ’70s to the indie classics of today—and everything in between! Recently, Manuel formed Mané with beloved friends and longtime colleagues from the USC Thornton School of Music. Blending elements of blues, pop, folk, country, and rock, the all-star group’s unique, engaging, and energetic show will inspire, awe, and appeal to all ages!
