Sidro Garcia is a guitarist, singer and composer who is best known for his band \u201cSidro\u2019s Armada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sidro\u2019s Armada - originally called \u201cThe Sneakers\u201d - formed in 1960 in Albuquerque, NM. In 1963 the band had their first appearance in Las Vegas, backing up singer Sue Thompson. The band began a long run opening for headliners like Louis Prima, Della Reese, Billy Eckstine, Jim Nabors, Barbara Eden, George Burns, among others.<\/p>\n

Sidro\u2019s Armada remained a top draw in Las Vegas, where they were the first to play Rock n Roll music in the lounges, and dressed more like rock stars than in the powder blue tuxedos of the day.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Sidro\u2019s Armada was inducted into the \"Las Vegas Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\"<\/p>\n

Today, Sidro is writing and recording with former Armada musician Cliff Fields, publishing their songs through their own company, Ben Claw Publishing.<\/p>\n<\/div>
