Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers-2nd Annual Spring Concert Series May 2, 2010

Blues, classic rock, Tex-Mex, rockabilly and the songs of love and peace from Woodstock are the music styles covered in the Second Annual Spring Concert Series held in conjunction with the Orange County Market Place, the weekend swap meet at the O. C. Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa.

First up is the blues veteran and harmonica virtuoso Rod Piazza and his Mighty Flyers on Sunday, May 2. The Mighty Flyers formed over three decades ago and since then Piazza and the Mighty Flyers have won or been nominated for just about every award that can be bestowed upon a blues band, played literally thousands of gigs around the world, recorded over a dozen highly acclaimed releases, and along the way virtually created a new style of blues - a combination of low-down Chicago grit, West Coast swing and jazz, and the rhythmic drive of the best early R&B and rock and roll.

And if you’re lucky you might catch Honey, Piazza’s wife and music partner, playing the piano with her feet.
