Season 3

Season 3 of California Dreams first aired in NBC from September 10, 1994 and concluded in January 7, 1995. Season 3 consist of 17 episodes. For this season Brett Gore who played Matt leaved the series and replaced by two new cast members Diana Uribe as Lorena Costa a rich girl who became the new groupie and Aaron Jackson as Mark Winkle the new Keyboardist and the cousin of Sly.

Synopsis
The sitcom's original premise was dropped completely when Matt was written out of the show (in the third-season premiere "The Unforgiven", it is briefly referenced that the Garrison family moved away). In Matt's place, the band hired Mark Winkle (Aaron Jackson), Sly's shy cousin from New York. Also added as a series regular was Lorena Costa (Diana Uribe), the privileged daughter from a wealthy family who takes Sam into their home after the Garrisons' departure. Sommers took over as leader and main songwriter of the band from Garrison. Songs from seasons 1–2 that were performed again in seasons 3–5 featured Matt's vocals replaced by either Jake or Mark.
