About Igor Prado:
Igor Prado begins to be interested in the guitar at age 11 and soon fell in love with the blues language, aged 16 was playing in bars and festivals with an injunction of justice because of his young age. Developed a style somewhat different from playing as a self-taught left-handed and learned becoming a right-handed guitar upside down, Igor is a lefty who plays with the inverted instrument strings. Deepened in the language of traditional Blues and West Coast Swing, a style that mixes blues with Swing elements, famous danceable jazz movement of the forties.

The Igor Prado Band is formed by his brother Yuri Prado on drums, Rodrigo Mantovani on bass electric and acoustic and Denilson Martins in Baritone Saxophone.

The guitarist has in his luggage several tours with renowned American artists such as Steve Guyger, RJ Mischo, Mark Hummel, Rick Estrin (Little Charlie & Nightcats), Lynwood Slim, JJ Jackson, James Wheeler, Phil Guy (legendary brother Buddy Guy) Mud Morganfield (son of the legendary Muddy Waters), Bob Stroger (bassist Muddy Waters), Omar Coleman, Curtis Salgado, Sugaray Rayford, Tia Carroll, Junior Watson, Sax Gordon and others

About Chris Cain:
Chris Cain's jazz-tinged, blues soaked guitar and deep, warm vocals have the maturity and authenticity of bluesmen many years his senior. His expressive style is the result of a lifetime of study and the relentless pursuit of music mastery. His passion and intensity are a blend of his mother's Greek ancestry and his father's soulful black heritage.

Cain was raised on stories of his father’s childhood upbringing on Memphis’ Historic Beale Street and attended his first B.B King concert at the tender age of three. Blues music played continuously on the home stereo and family outings were often trips to concerts. Cain recalls, “I remember when I was a kid, my Dad would be mowing the lawn with the stereo blasting Muddy Waters. When I look back, that was pretty cool! There was always music playing at our house, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Freddie King, Albert King, all the greats.”

Larry Nager (syndicated Scripts-Howard music critic) writes, “Nowadays most young blues players are Strat-wielding Stevie Ray Vaughan-a-bes. Not Chris Cain. With a voice that recalls B.B. King and a thick toned Gibson guitar sound reminiscent of Albert King, Cain is forging a unique style. With his own highly personalized songwriting, “Hall Of Shame” is a giant step in the development of one of the most compelling young bluesmen on today’s scene.”

Through his guitar mastery and remarkable songwriting ability, Chris Cain has established himself as a musical force to be reckoned with. And as San Jose Mercury News music reviewer John Orr writes, “more than anyone else, anywhere, Chris Cain represents the future of the blues.”
