Carlos del Junco & the Blues Mongrels at Harmony Centre
Nov 5 7:30 – 9:30pm
Harmony Centre
890 4th Ave East

Carlos del Junco is recognized as one of the world’s best diatonic harmonica players (“diatonic” harmonica is the same 10 hole harmonica that Bob Dylan uses) with many accolades to show for it.
To say that del Junco just plays the harmonica would be like saying Jimi Hendrix was just a guitar player. He blows the blues harp through a prism–suddenly it seems he’s holding every colour in the musical rainbow right there in his hands.
Simultaneously sophisticated and raw, his playing blurs the boundaries between blues and jazz (hence the name for his band “The Blues Mongrels”). The emphasis is on blues, but Carlos and his band are not afraid to merrily traipse off in other directions delivering a seamless fusion of swing, New Orleans second line grooves, Latin, ska melodies, to swampy roots rock.
The Blues Mongrels are:
- Carlos del Junco on harmonica and vocals
- Eric St. Laurent on guitar
- Henry Heillig on bass
