Music by Jose Molina Serrano

Jose Molina Serrano grew up in the border town of Tijuana, Baja California. He’s now a resident of La Mesa. At an early age he was inspired by his next door neighbor, Carlos Santana, to learn to play guitar. Molina-Serrano followed his dream, formed his own band and has been privileged to perform across the United States and internationally playing back up some with some of the greats in jazz, R&B, Blues and Latin Jazz, including Thelma Houston, Joe Tex, Ike & Tina Turner, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Spiral Staircase, and the Marauders, just to name a few: In 1996, his childhood neighbor, long-time friend and idol, Carlos Santana, invited Molina-Serrano to tour South America and sit in with his band for a two year tour. Jose has written his own music for the past twenty years. In 2008, the Space Shuttle Discovery crew chose music from Serrano’s “Only by Grace” cd to wake-up to each morning for six months. Astronaut Greg Chamitoff said, “His music is truly out of this world.”
