COCO MONTOYA & RONNIE BAKER BROOKS

Coco Montoya- 

"One 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." –AllMusic 

"Smoking songs and heavy hitting guitar full of fire and  passion...Montoya’s rough-edged voice is filled with  feeling. Bluesy, powerful and unpredictable...[It]really  gets the blood flowing." –Blues Music Magazine 

"Montoya 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 Blues

Ronnie Baker Brooks- 

Chicago guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and multiple Blues Music Award-winner Ronnie Baker Brooks is one of the city’s—and the world’s—most undeniably talented and electrifying bluesmen. Ronnie was born into Chicago blues royalty as the son of legendary multiple GRAMMY Award nominee, Hall Of Famer, and longtime Alligator Records recording star Lonnie Brooks. He is among the few contemporary blues artists who learned his craft directly from many of the genre’s icons, including Albert Collins, B.B. King, Willie Dixon, Koko Taylor and, most significantly, his father. “I’m blessed to have played with and learned from the best. I’m carrying them within me,” he says of all the legends he knew growing up and the journey he’s been on.
