Greetings blues fans and Happy New Year! Hopefully you all had a safe and pleasant entry into 2010. New York was its usual festive and raucous self. It never ceases to amaze me how people brave the cold weather and sheer number of other people just to welcome in the new year in Times Square, which is where the ball drops. It's actually quite a sight.
This week I am featuring photos of Coco Montoya from two shows this past November. One show was at a club called Mexicali Live in New Jersey and another show was at the BB King Blues Club. Tommy Castro and his band were on the bill for both. Coco opened the Mexicali show and Tommy opened the BB's show. Tommy came out and jammed with Coco near the end of Coco's set. I will have photos of Tommy at a later date.
This makes maybe the fifth time I've seen Coco and he never disappoints. He still has Randy Hayes on drums but on keys this time around is Brant Leeper and Nate Brown is holding it down on bass. Needless to say Coco and the band were firing on all cylinders.
Coco mentioned he has a new CD in the works. He also said it was going to be a little different and to keep an open mind. So...keep an open mind! Hey, it'll still be Coco and that's all that matters.
My thanks again to John Seroff of the BB King Blues Club for his continued support.
Here's hoping 2010 is a big year for blues music and that it continues to attract new fans.
Until next time, keep supporting the blues. As you can see, these cats are working hard to lay it down for you.
