Balkan beats, Klezmer stylings, and serious good times define the music of Oakland-based band Hernandez Hideaway. Playing the Bay and beyond since 2009, this band finds that sweet spot where traditional meets modern, playing new compositions and old favorites to make you smile and get you on that dance floor.
