Coco is coming back to Moes! Sunday, February 23rdDoors: 3pm / Show: 4pm $25 in advance / $30 day of the show21+COCO MONTOYAOne of the most prodigious and gifted electric bluesmen on the planet...a deeply soulful singer and incendiary guitarist [with] a seemingly endless penchant for invention. AllMusicSmoking songs and heavy hitting guitar full of fire and passion...Montoyas rough-edged voice is filled with feeling. Bluesy, powerful and unpredictable...[It]really gets the blood flowing. Blues Music MagazineMontoya is a show-stopper...heartfelt singing and merciless guitar with a wicked icy burn. He is one of the truly gifted blues artists of his generation. Living BluesJust play what you feel, be real about it, and enjoy yourself. Thats what Albert Collins taught me, says the award-winning guitar virtuoso and soul-deep singer Coco Montoya. The self-taught, left-handed Montoya mastered his craft under Collins tutelage. Incorporating lessons learned from his mentors, the iconic Collins (for whom he originally drummed), and UK legend John Mayall, Montoya puts his own stamp onto every song he performs. Since his first solo album in 1995 (which won him the Blues Music Award for Best New Artist), Montoyas endlessly inventive guitar work and passionate, hard-hitting vocals have kept him at the top of the blues world. With his new Alligator Records album, Writing On The Wall (his sixth for the label), Montoya delivers what he is already calling one of the best records hes ever made. For the very first time on Alligator, he decided to bring his road-tested bandnoted keyboardist and songwriter Jeff Paris (Keb Mo, Bill Withers), bassist Nathan Brown, and drummer Rena Beaversinto the studio with him. Between the camaraderie of the long-time bandmates and the sheer talent of all involved, the results have left Coco, in his words, over the moon.
