The Delgado Brothers
The East L.A. natives have been performing in their current incarnation since 1984, but the musical roots of three siblings – brothers Steve, Joey and Bobby (abetted by fourth member David Kelley) – stretch back nearly half a century. They have toured all over the world, won numerous awards for their band and Joey Delgado’s guitar playing, have written great songs that infuse Latin, soul and blues with socially relevant lyrics and driving grooves! All four of these brothers are solid soulful musicians who have been playing as a band for over fifty years! They are legends in their own communities, but also legends throughout Southern California and far beyond that.. Joey Delgado is without question one of the best blues guitar players in the world! He has graced the stages with countless other blues/soul performers and when he digs into the blues his energy is contagious!! Steve Delgado is a masterful singer and groove king on the drums…their songs are instant classics of the genre…a mix of Latin/Soul and blues!
