The use of henna for decorative body art was first documented in ancient Sumerian texts, but since the plant is native to the a wide geographic area throughout the Middle East and India it is likely that people used it without writing about it.  Traditions, recipes and patterns all spread along the trade routes across India, the Middle East, North Africa and into Moorish Spain (until the Spanish Inquisition!)

Traditionally, the hands and feet are painted before important celebrations (like weddings), and the painting process is a festive occasion as well. Usually a women’s art, some cultures also henna the hands of men on the eve of their weddings.

Patterns vary from culture to culture…in India, hands and feet are covered in intricate, lacy designs. In North Africa, more geometric patterns are preferred. In Pakistan, the initials of the bride and groom are hidden in the mehndi on the bride’s palms; it is said that if the groom cannot find the initials, the wife will be the family boss.

Henna has been used to decorate the skin and hair for nearly 5,000 years — and has been found on the hands and feet of Egyptian mummies!

The Silverados were formed in 1992 from a worship team of a small church in Alta Loma, CA. Original members Mike Heil, Julie Wuertz, Steve Sanchez, and Doug Hanks started as a band to play at a Valentine’s banquet at the church. There was a person at that banquet that wanted the band to play at a function they were having at their church the following week.

The band moved on from there and stayed together playing at the “Koffee Klatch” coffee house in Alta Loma and started playing at the Upland Street Fair Market. Later they also started playing at many of the street fairs such as Covina, Glendora, San Dimas, and Monrovia.

Currently, The Silverados play at many city events like concerts in the park and city festivals, etc. The band also plays at many corporate functions, wedding receptions, and all types of parties, such as birthday, anniversary, and backyard BBQ parties. The Silverados were recently chosen to open for Tim McGraw at Camp Pendleton for his Tour for the Troops concert in November of 2011.
