Moonflower: The Spirit of Santana,

Moonflower Brings “The Spirit of Santana” to Richey Suncoast Theatre — With Special Guest Alex Lopez

Latin rock fire meets the British blues revolution for one night only — Thursday, October 1 at 7:00 PM

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL — Richey Suncoast Theatre presents Moonflower: The Spirit of Santana, with special guest ALX — Alex Lopez and The Xpress, on Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 7:00 PM. Two great bands share the stage to pay tribute to the music that helped form a generation — and changed music forever.

The music and rhythms of Carlos Santana come alive with Moonflower. These master musicians recreate the sound, the feel and the show of a Latin rock icon — every one of Santana’s greatest hits, delivered with the fire that made them legendary. Close your eyes and you’re at a Santana concert. Open them, and you’ll be even more amazed.

Joining them, acclaimed international recording artist Alex Lopez and his band The Xpress perform the classic British blues that started a music revolution — music from Eric Clapton, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Gary Moore, Jeff Beck and many more — alongside songs from Lopez’s own award-winning, Top Ten Billboard-charting albums.

Critics have called Lopez capable of revitalizing the blues for a new generation. Mixing blues, rock, pop and even funk, Alex and his band create a sound that is uniquely mesmerizing inside a framework of melodic, memorable songs. His vision has always been to give fans a show that transcends a concert and becomes a musical experience — and he has surrounded himself with top-caliber musicians who deliver it night after night.

Together, the two bands turn one evening into a full arc of rock history — from the Latin percussion and singing guitar lines of Santana to the raw, amplified blues that came out of Britain and rewired American music.

“This is exactly the kind of night our stage was built for,” said Susie Saxe, Executive Director of Richey Suncoast Theatre. “Two great bands, one historic room, and music that three generations of this community grew up on.”
