BLUES: Electric Blues, ROCK: Roots Rock
Details:
DELTA WIRES is an Oakland, California based rhythm and blues band which was founded by lead vocalist and harmonica player Ernie Pinata as a college project. The Delta Wires name was derived from the image of a band with modern, "electric" instrumentation, playing a style of music born in the Mississippi "Delta". What began as an anthology of blues music from the Mississippi Delta to the South Side of Chicago, inevitably evolved into a band, which has become known for its versatility and crisp, tight, exciting sound. This album features special guests Latin Jazz Legend Pete Escovedo on congas and timbales and the Grateful Dead''s Vince Welnick on synthesizers!
Hard-driving, intense, with a band that''s tight and fierce, this new CD ("Tears Like Rain") from the Delta Wires will leave you breathless!"
-Kathleen Lawton, KCSM-FM, Crazy ''Bout the Blues
"a tough, rocking, socking band, knocking out crowds...the WIRES are burning up! "
Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle
"Great recording and killer arrangements make DELTA WIRES soar! Everything cooks, from the rhythm section through the piano, guitar and horns, to Ernie Pinata''s harp sizzling on top."
Tom Hyslop, BLUES REVUE MAGAZINE
"They blow hard from the get-go, a tight horn section blending comfortably with the spirited, intense harmonica from lead man Ernie Pinata?as fierce a Sonny Boy Williamson-influenced harp as you will find"
Bill Kisluik, BLUES ACCESS Magazine.
"From jump rhythms to nasty, lowdown Windy City laments, DELTA WIRES electrifies the audience... This tight Bay Area troop, fronted by vocalist/harmonica genious/composer Ernie Pinata, melds Mississippi Delta tunes and Chicago-style arrangements with rock, soul, and swing sensitivity to produce a rollicking, robust live recording...It''s terrific! This rockin'' blues band is spectacular -- tight, topical, and torrid.
