"In a world of blues guitar pretenders, Coco Montoya is the real McCoy. Be prepared to get scorched." - Billboard

"The fiery blues that issue forth from Coco Montoya's guitar are awe-inspiring and boogie requiring." - The Village Voice

"Blistering contemporary blues... piercing attack, funky, shivery guitar tones and aggressive, soulful vocals" - Blues Revue

"He is one of the truly gifted blues artists of his generation" - Living Blues

Best New Blues Artist Winner at the Blues Music Awards (1996).

Mentored by legendary bluesman Albert Collins, Coco went on to become the guitarist for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers for ten years before leading his own band. A self taught guitar slinger who plays with an emotional intensity few string benders possess, he plays left-handed and up side down in the style of Albert King and Jimi Hendrix.
