This 7-piece East Bay-based band has been generating powerful blues for over 30 years, performing in festivals from Italy to Monterey, always with monumental audience response and earning them membership in California’s Blues Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA combination of tight and highly-polished horns, fierce bluesy guitar and that crying, emotional harp make for a powerful fusion, blending the heartbeat of the Delta with electric sophistication and a full-blooded brass sound. Their latest release includes a number of originals, a few nods to the legendary Sonny Boy Williamson – and even a little Count Basie lagniappe. The best way to experience The Delta Wires is undoubtedly live. Onstage, the Wires always deliver an incandescent experience. But if you can’t catch them live, grab this CD – and hold onto your hats. You’re in for a wild, wild ride! “\u003cbr\u003e-Kathleen Lawton, Crazy ‘Bout the Blues KCSM-FM www.kcsm.org and Blues Foundation’s “Keeping the Blues Alive” award recipient\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExecutive Producer: Anthony “Little Tony” Calabrese\u003cbr\u003eProduced by: Ernie Pinata, Tom Gerrits, David Bowman, Tony Huszar, John Christensen and Richard Healy\u003cbr\u003eEngineer and co-producer: Varun Kejriwal\u003cbr\u003eMixed and Mastered at Skyline Studios, Oakland, California\u003cbr\u003eCan’t Win for Losin’ – Recorded at Brickwall Sound, Concord, California\u003cbr\u003eEngineered, mixed, and mastered by Steve Johnson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDELTA WIRES:\u003cbr\u003eErnie Pinata – bandleader, vocals, harmonica\u003cbr\u003eTom Gerrits – bass\u003cbr\u003eRichard Healy – guitar\u003cbr\u003eTony Huszar – drums\u003cbr\u003eDavid Bowman – trombone\u003cbr\u003eJohn Christensen – trumpet\u003cbr\u003eCaleb Murray – saxophone\u003cbr\u003eRichard Sylvester – keyboards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
