Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers Come To Your Town!

Blues music veteran and master harpslinger Rod Piazza and his award-winning band the Mighty Flyers Blues Quartet are hitting the road this month in support of their brand-new Delta Groove Music release Soul Monster. A hard-hitting collection of traditional and contemporary blues with a soulful edge, a little Chicago style, and an undeniable West Coast vibe, Soul Monster is Piazza's third album for the label, and his 24th release altogether.

Piazza is a blues harpist in the style of Chicago great Little Walter, and was mentored in his art by the late, great George "Harmonica" Smith. Backed by the rock solid Mighty Flyers Blues Quartet – four times Blues Music Award "Band of the Year" recipients – and his wife Miss Honey, honored herself with the "Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year" award by the Blues Foundation in 2008, Piazza and crew are more than capable of knocking down their gritty, soulful version of West Coast blues when they hit a stage near your hometown. If you haven't seen this phenomenal blues outfit perform live, the Reverend says "check it out!"
