The band opened for Asleep at the Wheel and The Sandmen at Slim's and Buck Owens at The Fillmore Auditorium. In 1989, they were nominated for a SFWeekly Wammie. In 1992, they self-released their first CD Freedom of the Rolling Plains to friends and family, as well as using the album to garner more gigs at wineries, festivals, and corporate parties. In 1995, the band's CD was a quarterfinalist in the Discmaker's Northern California "Battle of the Bands" and in 1996, The Coronados were finalists in the KSAN Northern California Country Music Battle of the Bands".

All the songs were "road-tested" in the clubs and bars in San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area so they are guaranteed to please at party time!!
