Blues-Rock Bosses Head Honchos bring their killer dual-guitar musical attack to Memphis this weekend, May 6 through May 9, to compete at the 2022 IBC (International Blues Challenge). Venues and performances to be determined.
The Valparaiso, Indiana-based group won the Blue Steel Blues Society IBC competion last Fall, but Covid 19 complications postponed this year’s IBC from January till May.
Experienced and road-tested, Head Honchos are fronted by the father/son guitar team of Rocco Calipari Sr. and Rocco Calipari Jr. — both bad-ass axe-slingers on a mission to keep the blues alive, who each make magical Blues music with their blazing, dual guitar leads. Mike Boyle on bass and Will Wyatt on drums comprise the Valparaiso, Indiana-based quartet first-rate rhythm section.
FUN FACT: Rocco Sr. is also well-known throughout the blues world his stint as longtime guitarist of Chicago blues stalwarts, Howard And The White Boys.
