Mr. Guitarlos is "The ferociously talented blues-rocker, ...one of this town's most notorious players. A genuine monster... terminally underappreciated ax-man" - Jonny Whiteside, LA Weekly

Darrell Alston is a performer, pianist, vocalist, vocal arranger, musical director, conductor and actor. This date was originally scheduled as his debut performance gig. (rescheduled) He has graciously welcomed a shared, doubled-up debut with featured artist, Carlos Guitarlos'. In this co-operative effort, Darrell, "The Leader of the Pack" will be at the piano helm. He will accompany, with the Pack on this Blues cruise, do some of his own multi-faceted musical styles and will join forces with the JAZZ / BLUES NIGHT: Jam Series band members. All for a very special fused BLUES / JAZZ NIGHT: Jam Series. Serious, "Kinda Bluez, bring yo Blu-azz". The BLUES / JAZZ NIGHT: Jam Series is-what-it-is and the "Pack" of musicians, R-what-they-R, period
