Coco Montoya
Overview
A Blues Music Award winner for Best New Artist and a nominee for Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year, Coco Montoya is celebrated by Living Blues as "one of the truly gifted blues artists of his generation." Billboard raved, "In a world of blues guitar pretenders, Coco Montoya is the real McCoy."
Mentored by legendary "Master of the Telecaster" Albert Collins and spending a decade as lead guitarist for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, the self-taught, left-handed guitar virtuoso and soul-deep singer has spent nearly three decades atop the blues world.
Back-to-back with his hard-hitting road band, Jeff Paris, Nathan Brown, and Rena Beavers, Montoya delivers a heart-pounding live performance of blistering fretwork and passionate vocals, featuring material from his acclaimed Alligator Records album, Writing On The Wall.
