One of the best-known, best-selling artists in bluesrock returns to Alligator Records, where he’s had his most successful releases. Armed with a razorsharp guitar attack, supremely soulful singing and a relentless tour schedule, Coco continues to set the gold standard for the genre. His previous three Alligator releases have sold nearly 112,000 worldwide.
Hard Truth will be serviced and promoted for regular rotation airplay and blues shows in Canada, Europe, UK, Australia and various internet music programmers around the world. One of radio’s favorite bluesrock guitar slingers, Coco also has a solid history of attaining crossover adult rock and roots airplay.
Coco’s live shows feature an exhilarating blend of fiery guitar work and passion-laden vocals. Support dates begin with a month-long nationwide tour starting March 24th. More dates will follow throughout the summer, including high-profile festival performances. Previous tours have included Germany, England, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Canada and more.
Hard Truth reaffirms Coco Montoya’s place on the top shelf of contemporary rocking bluesmen. From the ecstatic, just-fell-in-love shuffle “I Want To Shout About It” to the scorching “Hard As Hell” to the patented Albert Collins funk of “The Moon Is Full,” Coco‘s soul-burning mastery of hardhitting, long-lasting blues-rock is on full display.
