OUTSIDE AGAIN: Gritty soul guitarist Ian Santillano brings hot licks online.

Ian Santillano may be from Hayward, but the spunky young guitarist and self-described “Greasy Mayer” spends a lot of time gigging in San Jose. This Friday’s free livestream will be filmed on stage at Art Boutiki, an appropriately funky location for Santillano’s deep grooves, soulful melodies, and sweat-drenched fretboard freakouts. The guitarist recently also composed a new tune for San Jose Jazz, as part of their Jazz Aid Fund grant program. A little bit of soul, a little bit of rock, and a whole lot of heart. That’s the Greasy Mayer.
