Our Band

Sexto Sol is an original music act that effectively blends alternative rock, latin
and soul music together in a unique way. Sam Villela (Keys and Vocals), Eddie
Hernandez (Guitar), Juan Ramos (Drums), Greg Goodman (Bass) and James
Moody (Percussion) are the innovators, bringing their varied musical influences
together to form Sexto Sol.
Juan Tejeda, music instructor at Palo Alto College and accordionist for the
Conjunto Aztlan, has written about Sexto Sol based upon his experience
following the band:
”…they have developed a distinctive musical identity and carved a very important niche
in the musical scene of San Antonio. They are an integral part of San Antonio's artistic
and cultural community with a loyal base of fans that is growing. Sam Villela's soulful,
rhythm-n-blues-laden tunes add a much-needed vocal complement to the band's
repertoire. Of course, let's not forget the powerful and flowing bass lines of Greg
Goodman, the steady back beat and percolating percussion of drummer and founding
member, Juan Ramos, and James Moody. "El indio," Eddie Hernandez, rounds out the
band with his alternating effervescent chords and rock-me-out guitar licks.”
”(Sexto Sol)…An original voice that is firmly rooted to its beloved San Antonio, but with
branches that extend to the global community. Fusing elements of Latin rock, punk, pop,
alternative, heavy rock, rhythm-n-blues, salsa, jazz, cha cha cha y mas, they are a band
for the 21st century…”
