The Rick Epting Foundation for the Arts teams up with the Lincoln Theatre to present blues great COCO MONTOYA at the historic Lincoln Theatre. Long ago, legendary blues man Albert Collins took a young Coco Montoya aside and told him, "Son, just play what's in your heart." That has been Coco's mantra as he's toured the world cultivating fans with his intense music and warm personality. Mentored by Albert Collins, Coco went on to become the guitarist for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers for ten years before leading his own band. A self-taught guitar slinger who plays with an emotional intensity few string benders possess, he plays left-handed and upside down in the style of Albert King and Jimi Hendrix.
