The "STRAT-MASTERS REBORN" is actually two outstanding shows in one, displaying an amazing contrast! First, a blistering Hendrix/Stevie Ray show performed by Young Blues Guitar Phenom and Vocalist, Ryan Newman with Drummer, Mitchell Igneri and Bassist, Tim Leffingwell. Then, an Authentic Chicago Blues Show, again featuring Newman’s Stellar Guitar work, only this time in an authentic Chicago Blues setting featuring Upright and Electric Bassist, Papa Dick Souza, Drummer, Mark Hennessy and Blues Harmonica Master and Vocalist, The Kosher Kid.
Newman's electrifying guitar heroics, combined with the powerhouse Rhythm section of Igneri and Leffingwell will take the audience back in time to relive the “mind-blowing” sounds and music of these two Iconic Blues-Rock Guitar Gods, leaving audiences breathless and in utter awe. Then…Just when the audience has witnessed Newman’s unparalleled Blues-Rock capabilities, they’ll experience an astounding twist to the show, by seeing and hearing his equally amazing authentic Blues guitar work as part of The Chicago Blues Band, an outstanding, deeply authentic Blues ensemble. Along with Ryan’s exceptional, “from the heart” Blues Guitar work, this line-up includes The Kosher Kid’s Harmonica Mastery and the super soulful, super tight, Chicago Blues and Jump Blues Rhythm section of Hennessy and Souza. Of Interest, Kosher Kid is also a Harmonica player with Muddy Waters’ oldest Son and Chicago Blues Great and Recording Artist, Mud Morganfield.
