Coco Montoya is a celebrated American blues guitarist and vocalist, recognized for his passionate performances and mastery of the blues genre. Born in Santa Monica, California, Montoya began his musical journey as a drummer, and his career took a pivotal turn when he met the legendary Albert Collins in the 1970s. Albert Collins became his mentor, teaching him the fundamentals of the blues and urging him to transition to guitar. Coco Montoya's left-handed, upside-down playing style and emotional phrasing became his signature, blending fiery intensity with heartfelt soul. In the 1980s, Montoya joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, a band that had launched the careers of iconic guitarists like Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor. During his decade with John Mayall, Coco Montoya refined his craft, gaining widespread recognition as a formidable blues guitarist. His work with the Bluesbreakers helped solidify his reputation and set the stage for his solo career. Coco Montoya's solo debut, Gotta Mind to Travel (1995), marked the beginning of a string of successful albums that showcased his gritty, emotive guitar playing and powerful vocals. Notable releases include Ya Think I'd Know Better (1996), Suspicion (2000), and Hard Truth (2017). His music, rooted in traditional blues but with a contemporary edge, earned critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. Touring extensively, CocoMontoya is known for his dynamic live performances, where his combination of technical prowess and raw emotion leave audiences spellbound. His contributions to the blues genre have earned him awards and accolades, including the Blues Music Award for Best New Blues Artist in 1996. Montoya remains a vital force in the modern blues scene, with his playing often compared to legends like Albert Collins and B.B. King, ensuring his enduring influence on future generations of blues musicians. Coco Montoya joins us this week to share his story.

This time we look back to March 2007, when John interviewed the blues legend, Walter Trout and his group The Radicals after an amazing performance at The Mick Jagger Centre in Dartford, England. On the night he performed some of his classic hits, including tracks from his new collaboration album, Full Circle. This album saw him play with such greats as John Mayall, Jeff Healey, Coco Montoya and many more. On the night, John spoke to the bassist Rick Knapp, percussionist Joey Pafumi and of course, the man himself, Walter Trout This was first broadcast on Johns Sunday breakfast show on 103.7 TGR sound.  When the station closed in 2010 the recording was thought to be lost on the scrapped computer drives. That was until a few weeks ago, the original broadcast recording was found. Please excuse the quality, the recording has been re-mastered as best possible.

Tomo Fujita is a professional guitarist and an esteemed professor at Berklee College of Music. As a professor, he's taught students, such as John Mayer, and has played with legendary musicians such as Steve Jordan, Susan Tedeschi, Phil Colins, and Steve Gadd. In this episode, Tomo and Jack discuss the intricacies of George Harrison's guitar solos, Tomo's favorite Beatles songs, and how The Beatles composed their songs - and how it makes their music timeless.   Check out Tomo's website: https://tomojustfunky.com/ Tomo's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LklK7nlFYU   If you like this episode, be sure to subscribe to this podcast! Follow us on Twitter and Instagram. Or click here for more information: Linktr.ee/BeatlesEarth   ----- The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, that comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.   Tomo Fujita has been a professional guitarist for over thirty years and a faculty member at Berklee College of Music since 1993.  Tomo's philosophy, distilled into a one-liner, is that music is not just about playing; it's about emotional expression.  He teaches students to inject emotion into every phrase, whether the style is blues, jazz, funk or rock. Although he has resided in the United States for three decades, Tomo remains closely connected with musicians and the music business in his native Japan. He visits for a quick tour two or three times each year. Japanese guitar players have bought more than 160,000 copies of his (Japanese language) instructional books and videos. Tomo has performed with some of the best, including Will Lee, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Steve Jordan, Susan Tedeschi, Phil Collins, John Mayer, James Gadson, Travis Carlton, James Genus, Kenwood Dennard, Darryl Jones, Lemar Carter, Paul Jackson and Janek Gwizdala. When he is not performing on his own, Tomo likes to sit in with others, like Ronnie Earl, Coco Montoya, Eric Gales, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher, and Matt Schofield. Tomo has been an instructor to many great players over the years. The most famous of his former students is John Mayer. Tomo and John stay in touch to this day. Pictured above is a guitar that John signed for Tomo, next to the factory signature. Check out the video of these guys playing together during John's 2008 visit to Berklee, in the sidebar. Tomo also taught Eric Krasno of “Soulive” and Adam (“Shmeeans”) Smirnoff of “Lettuce” at Berklee. And there are three entertaining videos in the sidebar on this page featuring another former Berklee student: Tyler Larson, a shredder who has become an impressive teacher of guitar and music theory.

Em 2020 Big Joe Manfra completou 25 anos de seu primeiro show em 26 de Maio de 1995 no Bar Prova Oral em Juiz de Fora. Com a pandemia essa comemoração ficou adiada, só agora come- çando com uma série de shows com participação de convidados es- peciais. Nesse show receberá parceiros de longa data: o talentoso vocalista Pedro Quental e o grande gaitista Jefferson Gonçalves. Nesse tempo lançou CDs solo ("Big Joe Manfra” e “2"), o DVD “Big Band Ao Vivo” (o primeiro DVD de um intérprete brasileiro do estilo), com o grupo “Blues Etc.” e o CD ao vivo com o gaitista ame- ricano Peter "Madcat" Ruth (“Live in Rio”), consolidando-se como um dos principais artistas do blues no país. Seu inconfundível sotaque bluesy levou o gaitista americano Peter "Madcat" Ruth a recrutá-lo durante mais de 15 anos para tours pelo Brasil e EUA, passando por vários clubes e festivais por Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor e outras cidades. A temporada de Big Joe nos EUA culminou com o show no mais tradicional dos bares de San Francisco, o Biscuit and Blues, acompanhado pela banda de Keith Crossan, um dos melhores saxofonistas de blues dos EUA. Ao longo de sua carreira Big Joe Manfra procurou uma sonori- dade que tivesse sua marca pessoal. A frente dos vocais a partir do segundo CD, buscou não se restringir ao blues tradicional, aliando a energia de seu lado rock e a influência do jazz em seus arranjos ao estilo nascido no Mississipi, somando com batidas funk. Já se apresentou no exterior pela América do Sul, EUA e Eu- ropa, dividindo o palco com nomes internacionais como John Ma- yall & The Bluesbreakers, Magic Slim, Stanley Jordan, Grant Green Jr., Tommy Castro, Roy Rogers, Coco Montoya, Michael Hill, Michael Landau, Air Supply, T.M. Stevens, Norton Buffalo, Deanna Bogart, Peter Madcat e Jamie Wood, entre outros. Inte- grou a All Star Blues Band na Rock Street no Rock In Rio (2011). Ao lado de Jefferson Gonçalves fundou o selo Blues Time Re- cords; e o trio acústico Blues Etc., cujo CD foi finalista na categoria ‘Língua Estrangeira' do ‘Prêmio Caras de Música 2002'. Em 2022 Big Joe está finalizando um documentário sobre a trajetória com o gaitista Peter Madcat, lançamento dos álbuns que estão fora das plataformas e outras surpresas mais. Atualmente é endorser dos Cabos Tecniforte.

Super excited to announce new guest, Ben Brandt, to The Story!One could say Ben Brandt was born with a guitar in his hands and this would not be far from the truth. The son of a professional musician, Ben cannot remember a time when the guitar was not a part of his life. As a baby he was fascinated by the instrument and by the time he was three he was picking out riffs on his father's guitars. In 1999, at the age of 10, Ben started his own band, the Ben “Jamin” Brandt Project and his talents were discovered by a local radio station in NJ, WDHA. They promoted his music and booked him at festivals where he shared the stage with the likes of Savoy Brown and Billy Hector.In 2010 Ben moved to Harrisburg, PA and started the Ben Brandt Trio in which he was both vocalist and lead guitarist. They played throughout the PA/MD/DC/VA region where they quickly gained a wide fan base in the Blues/Rock scene. Over the years Ben and his band have had the opportunity to open for a number of well known acts such as Jimmy Thackery, Doyle Bramhall II, Gary Hoey, Coco Montoya, The Record Company, etc. He has also been called to the stage to sit in with notable guitarists such as Davy Knowles, Artur Menezes and Albert Castiglia. Ben also is a member of the Central Pennsylvania Blues Society (BSPA) and frequently performs at their weekly jam sessions.In 2019 Ben teamed up with singer/songwriter Kevin Koa and formed the Soul Miners Union, a roots and blues based project that featured original songs with great grooves and catchy lyrics. Their debut album was recorded and produced by legendary guitarist/producer Josh Smith at his Flat V studio in Los Angeles. The album was released in September 2020. Blues Rock Review wrote, “Brandt brings a gritty, seasoned approach to the songs he captains.” At times Ben provides “crisp licks and understated solos” whereas other songs allow Ben “the space to stretch out and cut into some aggressive playing” with “riff driven rhythm and ominous lyrics.” The album contained “deft playing, seamless transitions and memorable choruses” and was a “fresh take on a few different blues areas.”Ben's influences over the years have included a very eclectic mix of Blues, Prog and Rock from Chris Cain, Gary Moore and Eric Johnson to Andy Timmons, Robin Trower, Steve Vai and Alex Lifeson. These different genres and playing styles provide Ben with a broad palette to pull from to hone his craft. Dynamics and phrasing are key components in Ben's playing where every note has meaning and purpose, and his impeccable tone is sought after by guitarists both young and old.Ben's skills are well known in Harrisburg, PA and the surrounding tri-state area where he continues to perform on a regular basis. Ben is not one to be put in a box and always strives to learn new things, pushing himself and the musicians he plays with. At 32 years of age and over 20 years of playing live Ben has acquired a lot of experience yet he has truly only begun to show the world what he is capable of.You can find Ben and his projects here:Website: https://www.soulminersunion.com/newsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5ezvhPd5zaWyKCWFWAjPSYFacebook: Ben Brandt & the Soul Miners UnionSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-story/donations

Tomo Fujita grew up in Kyoto, Japan, and at age 19 won a full scholarship to attend Berklee. Only problem was... he didn’t speak a word of English. He came to America and only through sheer hustle and determination, things worked out. He wound up becoming a member of the faculty at Berklee, and has taught some famous students, such as Eric Krasno, Adam Smirnoff, and John Mayer Tomo has also performed with some major artists, including Will Lee, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Steve Jordan, Susan Tedeschi, Phil Collins, John Mayer, James Gadson, Ronnie Earl, Coco Montoya, Eric Gales, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher, and Matt Schofield. Some great stories in here about the cultural differences and adjustments Tomo had to make, between Japan and America, jobs he held, ways he hustles - even today. VERY cool and interesting stuff.
