Gospel Rock Blues Concert
April 15, 2023 @ 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Free
My name is Dennis Hulbert, and I am the Founder of Machaira! We are Gospel Blues and Jazz Recording Artists with a 30-year history in outreach! We would love to invite you to an upcoming FREE concert on April 15th at the Hamilton Performing Arts Center, 327 Fairgrounds Road Hamilton MT.
Gospel Recording Artist Leon Patillo. will be performing! As Santana’s former lead Singer and lead Keyboardist, Leon has quite a history and I would think that many of your Congregation has heard of him! Machaira will be opening as well as performing with Leon.
Our number one goal with this event is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, joining churches together, creating unity between the various church bodies. While these are the most important and serious goals, this concert event itself will also prove to be very entertaining. It is our prayer that Christians and Christian Congregations will come together in support of this event, while encouraging non-believers to attend in hopes of leading them to salvation.

We are starting this season’s tour here in the Bitterroot and will end up in Europe to spread the good news!!!
ABOUT LEON
After Leon left Santana, as he was called by God to do something much more with his music, he launched a solo career with Word Records, became a one-man band and created a dazzling, computerized show. As he released a string of successful albums, he performed in various arenas and coliseums worldwide. Even TBN developed and ran a show for him called Leon and Friends, he has used his voice, motivating gifts and music for concerts, radio, and TV hosting, and has had amazing success and visibility with Gold and Platinum albums. Most recently Leon has teamed up with the Gospel group Machaira., opening for and then accompanying Leon in the second part of this concert. This relationship is proving to be very exciting as a complete band unit, while diversifying the shows. This newly formed band also added the talents of world renown guitar virtuoso Marc Cooper (formally with Joe Walsh, Danny Gatton, Stive Vie etc.…) With this team Leon can use song to witness his walk from Santana to Hosanna in a dynamic show.
This Non-Denominational event kicks off at 7:00 pm and will end around 9:00 pm. The program is very family oriented. Musical styles will be pleasing to all ages. Tickets are free and available at the door on a first come first serve until capacity is reached or by emailing Machaira@hughes.net.
