Salgado's exceptional range and muscular, soulful vocals showcases powerful and inspirational R&B. With a career spanning forty years, award-winning soul, blues and R&B vocalist/harmonicist/songwriter Curtis Salgado is a one-of-a-kind talent whose music is as compelling as his story. From co-fronting The Robert Cray Band to leading his own band (and recording nine solo albums) to helping transform John Belushi into Joliet Jake Blues to touring the country with Steve Miller and Santana, he is a true musical giant. NPR calls him a blues icon with a huge voice. Salgado earned a reputation for high-intensity performances and a repertoire inspired by his encyclopedic knowledge of soul, blues and R&B music.

He won the 2010 Blues Music Award (BMA) for Soul Blues Artist Of The Year and went on to win the award again in 2012 and 2013. In 2013 he also won the coveted BMA for B.B.

He won the 2010 Blues Music Award (BMA) for Soul Blues Artist of the Year and went on to win the award again in 2012 and 2013. In 2013 he also won the coveted BMA for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year, the highest honor the blues world has to offer, and took the statue for Soul Blues Album Of The Year for his Alligator debut, Soul Shot. Blues Revue says Salgado’s music is triumphant, joyful, blues-soaked R&B and declared him to be one of the most soulful, honest singers ever.

Guitarist Alan Hager started playing music with Curtis about 10 years ago, giving concerts throughout the Northwest and various other areas of the U.S. He has been a member of the Curtis Salgado band since the spring of 2015, and has now toured extensively with Curtis, in support of Salgado's newest release, The Beautiful Lowdown (Alan is co-writer and featured guitar player on, “I Know a Good Thing”).

Produced by Salgado and Hager, the 13 songs on ROUGH CUT (including six originals) range from plaintive to playful. Recorded in one live unrehearsed take, the original I Will Not Surrender, with its haunting and sparse soundscape, showcases some of Hager's strongest guitar work, and some of the most profoundly emotive vocals Salgado has ever laid down. The canine-lover's anthem, I Want My Dog To Live Longer (The Greatest Wish), is already a huge fan favorite. Salgado's soulful singing and Hager's elegant slide guitar playing shine on Elmore James' You Got To Move and Muddy Waters' I Can't Be Satisfied. "He's the best player in the business, unlike anybody else," Salgado says of Hager. "One reason I made this record was to show him off."

Salgado and Hager have performed at Portland's Waterfront Blues Festival, The Chicago Blues Festival, The Tampa Bay Blues Festival and Canada's Tremblant Blues Festival and on The Legendary Blues Cruise. Salgado has also performed at The San Francisco Blues Festival, Memphis' Beale Street Music Festival, Denver's Mile High Blues Festival, as well as in Canada, England, throughout Europe, Brazil, Chile, Panama, The Philippines, Thailand and Hong Kong. Blues Revue, describing Salgado's performances, declares, "He starts at excellent before segueing into goose bumps, ecstasy, and finally nirvana."

Salgado released the first of his 10 solo albums in 1991. He joined Alligator Records in 2012, debuting with the award-winning, critically acclaimed SOUL SHOT followed by THE BEAUTIFUL LOWDOWN in 2016. The albums earned Salgado multiple Blues Music Awards for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year, Soul Blues Male Artist Of The Year, Soul Blues Album Of The Year and Song Of The Year. NPR calls him "a blues icon" with a "huge voice."

Along with his accolades, Salgado is no stranger to adversity. During his career, he has overcome multiple health challenges, battling back from liver cancer in 2006 and lung cancer in 2008 and 2012. In March 2017 he underwent quadruple bypass surgery. Now he is back on the road, revved up and firing on all cylinders, performing with his band as well as a duo with Hager. His resilience can be heard - and felt - on I Will Not Surrender, ROUGH CUT's lead track.

With Curtis' inspired singing and world-class harmonica playing and Alan's spellbinding guitar, ROUGH CUT is the album Salgado and Hager have always wanted to make together - soulful, sparse and haunting. The music is a moving exploration of the joyful, emotionally uplifting power of passionately played and soulfully sung acoustic blues. They'll perform together as a duo both on their own and during Curtis' full band shows, giving their fans a taste of what Alan calls "American Classical music." "This type of music moves us the most," says Salgado. "You believe it when you hear it."

AC Myles

“Solid, confident performance with strong guitar and vocals and good attention to tone” – Bruce Iglauer – Alligator Records

Hot off an official appearance at 2017’s Winter NAMM Convention, AC Myles new album?‘With These Blues’?reaches back to the root of his musical development. Myles is stylistically along the lines of a modern day Johnny Winter, Steve Marriot, Rory Gallagher & Elvin Bishop and his albums?‘Rush to Red’ (2015)?&?‘Reconsider Me’ (2014)?outline his musical development and his maturing into one of the more valid guitarists and vocalists in the blues/rock arena. AC Myles new album,?‘With These Blues’ (2017)?is a collection of originals and choice covers in traditional electric blues styling. Myles very confidently delivers, with an amazing vocal range and tone as well as staggering unyielding guitar work, no doubt is left that he is the mature and genuine article.

“Blues-rocking guitarist AC Myles is an artist whose musical stock seems to be an arrow pointing straight up. The real deal folks! Dig it!” – Brent Black / www.criticaljazz.com

Myles’ song selections on?Reconsider Me ?(2014),?‘Rush to Red’ (2015)?&?‘With These Blues’ (2017), produced in San Jose, Ca. with Kid Andersen at his Greaseland Studio, vary from traditional electric blues of the 60’s and 70ís into blues-rock overload. Myles also brilliantly displays his songwriting abilities to crossover as effortlessly as some larger drawing acts wish to. The self-penned tracks?‘Open Road’?and the tour de force??Liviní a Lieí?showcase fierce rock n roll slide guitar and vocal chops, following right in line with the clever co-written southern rocker??Call ?em All Babyí?and the southern rock anthem?‘Closin’ ’em Down Every Night’, which further showcase his musical depth and songwriting. The original instrumentals?‘顿颈迟肠丑产补苍办’,?‘闯辞补辩耻颈苍’, &?‘尝辞苍别谤’?are tips of the hat to blues guitar greats alike Earl Hooker, while the covers of Bo Diddly’s?‘Can’t Judge a Book (By Looking at the Cover)’, the Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland classic?‘I Wouldn’t Treat a Dog (The Way You Treated Me)?and Jimmy Dawkins inspired funk blues workout of?‘Key to the Highway’?will undeniably change your answer on whether or not the songs have been recorded perhaps once to many times.

“Perhaps the only soulful thing to come out of Fresno, AC Myles can play the hell out of a guitar, and he’s growing as a songwriter” – San Jose Metro Editor Steve Palopoli

Born in California, the only son of production workers, Myles grew up in the migrant worker rurals of the Central California town in which he was raised. Myles spent his later teens and twenties touring with his own band eventually finding his way to the San Francisco Bay Area and playing sideman to an array of acts. Along the way, with a keen ear and sincere passion, AC has become a gifted entertainer and musician. His personal appearances have a ‘take no prisoners’ approach which; along with a healthy dose of humor, usually gets even the toughest audiences on his side.

“This album is a stunning piece of work and will put Mr Myles on your list to see live and to track down his previous releases.” – Bob Bonsey – Blues Matters Magazine UK

Myles proves his traditional styling’s are up to snuff both vocally and on guitar as well with an amazing vocal workout of the Johnny Adams track,??Reconsider Meí, original tracks?‘Satisfy My Love’,?‘Broke Baby’?and the James Brown classic?‘I’ll Go Crazy’. In addition??Reconsider Meí,?‘Rush to Red’?&?‘With These Blues’feature tracks by artists Myles has had the opportunity to share stages with in his career, including Roman Carterís blues gem??Queen Beeí?and the Fillmore Slim funk arrangement of the Fats Domino R&B classic,??Blue Mondayí. The self-penned??Death Bed Bluesí?and??Three Ways to Fallí, which have darker lyrical output, showcase his grasp and retention of blues traditions, while his rendetion of the Rodger Collins B-Side cut?‘I’m 开云体育 Time’?and??What is Loveí, a cover of Oaklandís blues/mod/soul kings The Loved Ones, is an ode to the region of California that became adopted home territory for Myles and sprouted his musical growth and career.

“AC Myles ‘Reconsider Me’ promises to provide some of the most memorable moments of 2014!”
– Tom Hyslop – Blues Revue Magazine/RockMrTom

“‘Reconsider Me’ by AC Myles is an enjoyable CD. The man has a very good voice and he’s a great guitarist. There is much variety in his music.” – Rootstime Belgium
