Coco is Back August 24!
Posted August 20, 2013 at 5:55 am by Tim Dustrude
Coco Montoya is set to mesmerize islanders with his icy-hot guitar style and soul-reaching vocals on Saturday, August 24 at 8:00 p.m. at San Juan Community Theatre.
Mentored by legendary bluesman Albert Collins, Montoya went on to become the guitarist for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers for ten years before leading his own band and earning him the W.C. Handy Award for “Best New Blues Artist” in 1996. Billboard Magazine has said of Montoya: “In a world of blues guitar pretenders, Coco Montoya is the real McCoy. Be prepared to get scorched.”
A self-taught guitar slinger who plays with an emotional intensity few string benders possess, he plays left-handed and upside down in the style of Albert King and Jimi Hendrix. He’s been averaging 200 gigs a year all over the world, cultivating fans with his intense music and warm personality.
The Business Partner for the concert is Whidbey Island Bank. Tickets are $28 for adults, $14 for student reserved and $5 student RUSH at the door. The SJCT box office is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from
11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets may also be purchased on-line at www.sjctheatre.org
