Musical Style: Blues &amp; Boogie <h2>The Delta Sonics Duo</h2>The Delta Sonics music takes a Chicago Blues base and seasons it with Swing, Delta, N’awlins R&amp;B and some early Rock n' Roll. They were Westword’s best blues band in Denver the last six of nine years. The band made the semi-finals in the Memphis (International Blues Challenge) in 2012. They have been featured at many of the major festivals in Colorado and Wyoming. The Delta Sonics have played the Taste of Colorado, Pearl St. Blues &amp; Brews, the Greeley Blues Jam, Larimer County Fair, Parker Days, The Five Points Jazz Festival, Denver BBQ Fest, Cheyenne Frontier Days, the Cherry Creek Arts Fest and many others.Al Chesis supplies vocals and foot stomping showmanship but it's his harmonica playing that grabs you. He has been a Hohner endorser since 1992 and recently was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Colorado Blues Society. Bob Pellegrino supplies the dazzling slide guitar. Bob was the Colorado Blues Society’s best slide guitar player three years in a row. Rising bass star Alissa Chesis and Stefan Flores on drums “drive the bus” and are a grooving rhythm section.The Sonics have been the Mile High “go-to” band for touring Blues national acts for 15 years. The band has backed national blues acts like Big Bill Morganfield, Steadyrollin' Bob Margolin, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Grammy-nominated Lurrie Bell, three time Grammy-nominated John Primer and the late Pinetop Perkins, and the late Bo Diddley.The Delta Sonics opened for BB King (twice) Robert Cray (three times) and Jimmy Vaughn (twice) among many others. Al Chesis is a featured guest on Big Head Todd's album "Black Beehive”.
