The members of El Gran Combo met in 1980. The guitarist first found his love of music by listening to his sister’s collection of records. The bassist was heavily influenced by his sibling’s love for music. El Gran Combo began playing at Anyplace, a college bar. Music of the ’50s heavily influenced the early work of the band.
 
After this past busy year the members of El Gran Combo will take some time off. The band has just completed their most current record, but they are planning the next release already.
 
The years of paying their dues paid off when El Gran Combo signed a record deal. The group members were ecstatic once they were signed and quit their odd jobs that had supported them while they worked toward their dreams.
 
El Gran Combo knew that they were real working musicians after Amanda Ellenwood started the first fan club for the band in 1988. The fan club may have just started out with a few members that followed the band when the played in small clubs, but it quickly grew to thousands after the group released its first album and started touring nationally.
 
Oklahoma City has always been a haven for the band, so they are sure to schedule a performance there every time they tour. TheSeats.com has all the tour information a fan needs in one place, including El Gran Combo tickets, concert seating charts, and complete tour schedules.
