We went to see Coco Montoya at Bottle Neck Blues Bar (Ameristar) on 3/4/16. I have never seen Coco before and I have to tell you I was shocked! Great guitar player for sure! Coco Montoya is on my "must see" list when he comes to town.
If coco were to come back to buffalo/niagara falls casino bears den...I would certainly attend the concert. He gave an excellent show.
Great show, almost did not go due to the Niagara Falls Blue Fest bing held at the same time. But I made the right choice, Coco and his band were on fire!!!!
The Bear's Den is "hands down" the absolute best venue in the area to hear a band. Not a bad seat in the house and you are almost on top of the stage. If we should be so lucky to have Coco Montoya return to the Seneca casino, next year, I would recommend that you get your tickets early. If you are a blues lover.........DO Not MISS THIS SHOW! Coco is an incredible guitar player and vocalist.
I love blues!!!! I am also a bass player. This show was unbelievable!!!! Two different types of blues and a great combo of the 2 bands! PLEASE bring them back to NYC TOGETHER AGAIN AND SOON!
Unbelievable show! He is just awesome. The 2 sit ins were great & fun to watch. The venue is unbeatable! Love it!
Coco and the bank always put on an amazing show!!!
There is nothing better than seeing Coco live. He is a true master of his craft. It will be the best 2 hours of music you have heard in a long while. And if you can not make his show you have to get his latest and first live CD, then for sure you will want to see him in person.
Great evening, performance excellent. Food OK, service good - wish we had finished meal before lights went down though. Sound system could be sharper. Better show and food than the Strawberry Fields Beatles tribute at same venue.
first time I've seen or heard Coco Montoyo.I was just blown away !He played for 2 hours and it seemed like 2 minutes,he is the best.This guy is one of the top 5 guitersts in the world ! Just unbelievable !There were sounds comming from his guiter that no one else could have made.He played before hundreds in a sold out venue ,it should have been thousands ! I've seen a lot of bands in my life including Jimi Hendrix and this guy was the best !
First time I was ever at the Bears Den..>Great small quaint Venue for an awesome blues guitar player. Coco never disappoints....always puts on a great show....look forward to the next time he is in town.
The music, the venue, the food all great; exceeded my expectations!
This guy is a genius. He is a technical wizard. But beyond that.......he moves you with his playing and vocals. I've seen a lot of guitarists that are technically genius but am left without a visceral feeling. Not Coco! He touched me on an emotional level that only a few other musicians ever had (Van Morrison's singing is one). I don't understand why he is not as famous as Clapton as he is every bit as technically good. And he is full of heart. I love this guy. I will never miss one of his shows.
Show was most enjoyable as always. Coco genuinely enjoys playing at the Tralf and it shows. Opening act "Wanted by the FBI" put on a nice show also!
If you get a chance to see coco do not pass up the chance! He will blow your socks off!
This was a very good show. Coco is so entertaining & really feels his music. We enjoyed every minute & would certainly go to see him again. B.B. Kings was an excellent venue & the food was delicious.
Coco Montoya as absolutely one of the best bluesman touring today. He is a great showman, has voice that is giant, and, oh, yeah, plays the guitar with delicate majesty that must be experienced. He ran through just about every style of blues tat can be imagined, and did it with complete confort and control. He band we with him every note, executing this dream with absolute precision and dexterity, it was truly a magnificent performance From the whispers part - the band was played so quiet and beautiful, that we could whisper to each other and hear everything. To the twister, where the band rocked so hard you couldn't breath, it was a phenomenal night of entertainment. The dynamics this band displayed was equivalent to a symphony orchestra. Dynamics are a lost art in today's music. Thank you Coco for remembering that silence is as important as the noise. You make Miles Davis proud!
What a great voice.One of the best vocalists I have ever heard.At times it looked like he was making love to the crowd(especially the women) with his voice,Would definitely go see him again
This was my 5th Coco concert at the Tralf and if he were playing next weekend, I would go again. Unlike some bands where every song sounds the same, Coco and the boys mix it up between hard drivin blues and mellow technical guitar licks. I get the feeling that Coco really enjoys playing the Tralf and the warm reception he gets from the crowd that obviously appreciates the quality of music he produces. I forgot the tics at home and by the time we traveled the 30 miles back to Buffalo we did not get our regular "middle of the room" seats. We found seats next to the wall that seemed to make the music too loud. The Tralf is my favorite venue as the sound guys know their stuff. Coco -5 star. My seats -3 star. Overall experience 4 star.
Never been to the Coach House in Capistrano before and man, I can't wait to go back. The place rocks. We had dinner there before the show - filet mignon followed by apple pie ala mode. Had some drinks, sat less than eight feet from the stage and enjoyed really hot blues licks coming from three bands for almost four hours (show tickets were just $15)! The headliner - Coco Montoya - was so hot that his singing and guitar playing nearly burned down the place! How I ever missed this guy for so long, I'll never figure it out. You have to hear and see him to appreciate what I'm saying. He's a left-handed guitar player - learned to play from the legendary Albert Collins - but he plays a right handed guitar upside down! He's so darn good he used to be the lead guitarist for John Mayalls' Blues Breakers Band - for ten years! Montoya's riffs and jamming with his group would stand up to any of the great blues guitarists I've ever seen or heard and I've seen and heard quite a few in person, from Clapton to Mayall, to Buddy Guy, BB King, Robert Cray, Jonny Lang and George Thorogood. Coco holds his own. And his voice . . . man, it ranges from the rough, done me dirty, hurts so bad-bluesy to the smoooooth as silk. He switches gears, one song after other. I don't know how he does it. After the show, he heads to the front of the place and hawks his CDs, but more importantly, he is soft-spoken, humble and gracious with his fans, having a genuinely warm personality. A terrific way to spend a Friday night.
