From his early days as a drummer to his current status as one of the top-drawing guitarists and vocalists on the blues-rock scene, Coco Montoya earned his status through years of hard work and constant touring. It all started with a chance meeting in the mid-1970s with legendary bluesman Albert Collins, who offered Montoya a gig as his drummer. Five years later, British blues icon John Mayall happened to catch Montoya at a jam session and was blown away. Mayall recruited him as his guitarist in the legendary Bluesbreakers, and Montoya spent the next 10 years touring non-stop, proving him to be a world-class guitar master in one of the most renowned blues bands in existence. The rest is History!
