This guy is really hot locally in Denver, CO. He is a wizard on the piano & hammond organ. I was surprised to learn that he also plays the guitar (I saw him with his latin rock band) and found out he plays all the guitar tracks, as well as piano & organ! The album mixes Beatlesque pop rock with latin rock, salsa & boogie woogie blues. Great harmonies on the CD.
The production is top notch. I keep hearing new details in the songs everytime I listen.
He grew up both in Mexico & New York, and you can hear those influences in his music.
I definitely recommend listening & adding to your collection. I bought mine at one of his shows, but I think you can get them on his website.
