Coco Montoya

Coco Montoya live at Eddie's Attic! "Just play what you feel, be real about it, and enjoy yourself." That's what Albert Collins taught Coco Montoya, and it's a lesson the award-winning guitar virtuoso has carried through a career that spans mentorship under Collins and a decade with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Since his debut in 1995, Montoya's inventive guitar work and hard-hitting vocals have kept him at the top of the blues world. His new Alligator Records album Writing On The Wall, produced by Grammy winner Tony Braunagel (Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal), is what Coco is already calling one of the best records he's ever made. Vintage Guitar says it best: "Coco keeps getting better and better. He plays with fire and passion rarely seen in this day and age."
