Carlos Del Junco was at Hermann's...

In co-operation with Hermann's Jazz Club, Victoria Blues Society was pleased to present the amazing Carlos Del Junco on Friday, March 19th Hermann's at http://www.hermannsjazz.com/ or call (250) 388-9166 or Lyle's Place or at Island Audio on Blanchard (free parking)

What they are saying about Carlos:

Carlos del Junco is hands down one of finest blues/jazz harmonica players on the planet. "One listen and it’s obvious he’s in a class with such greats as Toots Theilmans, Paul Butterfield and Howard Levy, formerly of Bela Fleck’s Flecktones." Edmonton Journal
