Coco Montoya is considered one of the heavy hitters on the touring blues scene today, and he seems like a guy who is staying true to the blues and works hard to keep live music alive. I admire these guys and strive to keep this great music alive in my own right and want to feature Coco in this post in case he’s new to you. I came across a great interview with Coco for guitar.com, recorded in two parts, that I hope you check out because there is a lot of great information in there whether you are a fan of his music or not. Then he’s hard for me to right a post like this without some killer music, so I shared a song from Coco called “Beyond the Blues” that is definitely worth a listen. I hope you enjoy it all as much as I did!

Coco Montoya is a hard working blues musician and a straight shooter who comes off great in this two part interview. I really enjoyed learning a little bit more about his history and work ethic when it comes to playing music, and I hope you will too.

I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into the music career of Coco Montoya. He’s definitely a great player to see live so if you get a chance I suggest you take advantage of it and support the live blues scene. There’s more coming your way at Blues Guitar Unleashed so stay tuned.

Thanks,

      Currently it appears like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

      Went to a little festival in Spokane, WA to see Too Slim and the Taildraggers and they happen to be opening for Coco. I’d heard him many times before, but never saw him live. The man literally brought tears to my eyes. The guy played so sweet, I could feel my heart breaking. Not too many players can do that. I’ve seen a lot of players – that’s one I won’t forget.
