Lives Blues July 10, 2009

Gino Matteo is back!!
He will be performing live Blues in our “Newly Expanded” bar & lounge area.

Being a rarity in today’s Blues world, Gino Matteo is a young man with an incredible knowledge and respect for the past. A true student of the blues. Gino’s performances are spontaneous, explosive, and original- a triple threat to the music world.

Gino is the definition of an “old soul” with a voice as smooth as velvet but tough as nails. Gino writes music about his life as he lives it. His love, joy, and pain pour through his guitar and voice, leaving audiences spellbound and wanting more. Using the experiences of the past, Gino Matteo’s sound respectfully pays tribute to true Blues while adding a bit of his own life in between.

Recently, Gino was named “Best Blues Guitarist on the West Coast” at the Guitar Center Hollywood during the “King of the Blues” Competition in June 2006. From there he went on to Chicago to compete and open for B.B. King. www.ginomatteo.com
