Saturday Matinee – Texas Blues Guitar Summit (ft. Mike Morgan, Anson Funderburgh & Shawn Pittman), The Hoax, and Vargas Blues Band
Texas Blues Guitar Summit is “a high-energy, no-frills Texas blues collaboration, featuring guitar greats Mike Morgan, Anson Funderburgh and Shawn Pittman, with a full rhythm section. Legendary players. One stage. No two shows alike.”
From Devizes, Wiltshire, England, The Hoax is/was a blues band who got a lot of attention in the 1990s. Their debut album Sound Like This was named Best British Blues Album of the Year at the British Blues Connection Awards in 1994 and they’ve recorded several more since. [Their website appears to be defunct, but they have a FB page.]
Vargas Blues Band: “Javier Vargas was born in Madrid Spain shortly after his parents had left Buenos Aires where they had migrated some years before. Nine years later, the family returned to Argentina, and it is there where Javier started playing the guitar. In the 70’s, he lived in Nashville and L.A. playing the clubs and working recording sessions. He played with and impressed the likes of Alvin Lee, Roy Buchanan and Canned Heat, who also influenced his style.”
