San Francisco, CA. – As a fan base we come from all walks of life and recognize our foundation comes from those who built our city. Those whose passion and love for their city would go on to inspire music legends, the likes of Tony Bennet, Scott Mckenzie, Journey, and Otis Redding to put our city into song. Deep inside the heart of that foundation, directly at its core is that old school blue collar community. The ones who truly earned us the titles of “Diehard” and “Faithful”. No matter where in the world they represent from today, this album is for them. It’s their voice that is showcased in this first ever dedicated 49ers album titled, “KINGS OF THE TAILGATE”.
Who better to take on such a heart felt project than recording artist “Jose Santana” a true Diehard and 49er Faithful. A family man whose roots are of the bay area’s own music legendary Santana family. As a passionate 49er fan he is the founder and president of the “West Bay Niner Riders Chapter” in “The Niner Empire Organization”. He tailgates at “Empire Row” in the Green lot at Levi’s Stadium. His fandom runs deep through his veins as he feels the heartbeat of every 49ers fan.
Press play and you’re taken on a journey that engages every 49ers fan emotions as it highlights the joys and celebrations of being a Niner and yet it doesn’t leave out the ups and downs of our frustrations either. This album captures everything from a fans perspective including the politics of the fans vs the 49ers organization, Kezar, Candlestick to Levi’s, tailgating for the fans, fans repping their team no matter what city they hail from, to a lighthearted Empire dig at having a strange visit from the FBI disrupting your tailgate right before a game.
Jose Santana delivers the goods with all the true signs that the album is destined to become a classic. Not only because it’s the first of its kind, but it also begs to be played at every 49er tailgate, BBQ, picnic for years to come.
With features from Bailey, San Quinn, Young Sight, Stak Chippaz, Duke Jusino, Barnone, Guilatine Fred, Anjali Asha and more it’s a must have for 49er event.
