Howard Blank, founded The Legends in 1987 and it quickly proved to be San Diego’s favorite oldies showband. Over the years, Howard has invited several area musicians to join him in The Legends including members of Sha Na Na and The Syndicate of Sound. The Legends continue to delight our many fans, and customize their shows from a full evening of Dancing to a thirty minute revue.
