THIS 5 PIECE BAND IS MADE UP OF :
JOHN CHICKOGEE (HARP)
JOHN COMPTON (LEAD, VOCALS)
KEITH MCMILLION (RYTHYM)
TOMMY FONAINE (DRUMS)
KEVIN KIDD (ACOUSTIC BASS)
WENT TO SEE DIABLO BLUES @ THE EMPTY GLASS LAST NITE THIS BAND DRAWS YOU IN LIKE A MOTH TO THE FLAME.... WITH COMPTON'S LARGER THAN LIFE STAGE PRESENCE PLUS HIS MAD GUITAR SKILLZ MATCHED WITH MCMILLION'S CRAZY FAST & FURIOUS FINGERS.... THESE 2 ARE THE PERFECT MUSICAL MARRIAGE. IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THE BLUES BEFORE BY THE END OF THE NIGHT YOU WILL SURE TO BE A FAN. DIABLO COVERED EVERY THING FROM IRA KING TO BB KING & THREW IN SOME ORGINALS "SWEET PAPA PAUL".
HAD A COUPLE OF DEDICATIONS THAT WERE OFF THE FREAKIN' CHART I MIGHT ADD.... LIKE "HELL TO PAY"..(dedicated to John Moss) , PAY THE COST TO BE THE BOSS..(Compton dedicated this to his lovely lady Linda), AND A SPECIAL DEDICATION "PRICE OF A BROKEN HEART"..(dedicated to One mother & One wife) BOTH OF WHICH THE UGLY DISEASE CANCER CLAIMED.
DIABLO BLUES DOES THE BLUES & THEY DO IT WELL... THIS BAND TAKE'S YOU THERE AND KEEPS YOU. I AM A FAN!
p.s I might add that I've never in my entire life seen an acoustic bass as big as Kevin Kidd's before.... It was so big in fact that they don't make a case big enough to fit it! And Yeah... that bitch flat out was BANGIN'!!! :)
