Richie Cowan is a mean guitar picker and vocalist. He’s been supplying his soulful and bluesy lead and slide guitar to various bands he’s played with over the years here in Santa Cruz. Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Reverend Gary Davis, Big Bill Broonzy, Willie McTell, Blind Man Blake and numerous other legendary acoustic guitar players all figure into his funky mix of blues guitar. He hosted the Blues Jam in Capitola for many years at the Fogbank, and co-wrote the songs on Jewl’s CD “Harp in Heaven.”
Jewl Sandoval, a California native, has been rock’n the Bay Area and Santa Cruz for several years. He’s written a number of blues tunes, produced three CDs, and has hosted countless blues jams. In the process he has mixed it up with many of today’s blues stars, Coco Montoya for one. His blues harp and soulful vocal style has brought smiles to folks of all ages.
