A Blues rocking guitar-slinger who doesn't follow any path but his own turns in a date like the kind your pop always raves about but you never heard of and can't even find on streaming services. A road warrior that knows how to please a crowd with ears looking for something meaty, this hard hitting set hits the target for thrills, chills, fun and excitement!”

J.J. Vicars & The Desiatos

Hard Drivin' Blues, Boogie, & Rock 'n' Roll

J.J. Vicars & The Desiatos work audiences into an ecstatic frenzy with their Hard Drivin' Blues, Boogie, and Rock 'n' Roll. Straight ahead, no frills, no gimmicks, and take no prisoners; the dance floor is heaving and there's sweat running down the walls. 

Snarling guitar and rough-hewn vocals couple with rumbling bass and a driving backbeat for a good time gumbo of Blues rockin' boogie. Driving shuffles and blazing rockers are contrasted with simmering  Blues and elegaic ballads. And when they rock it is positively strident.

A "lifer" and ex-pat J.J. has cranked out his good-time Blues & Roots-rockin' euphony around the world for  three decades. Six albums, five singles, four side projects, several guest spots, and eight music videos later he's still got a guitar or a steering wheel in his hands.
