The Back Porch Boys

The Back Porch Boys (Blues) 6-8pm

The BACK PORCH BOYS dig into the glorious roots of American music from the Delta blues in Mississippi to New Orleans up to Memphis over to Austin and jumpin’ to Chicago. Singer-guitarist RICH COWAN and harmonica enthusiast VIRGIL THRASHER put their combined 90 odd years of performing music.

Rich, after extensive touring on the road, settled in Santa Cruz to work with the always entertaining Jewl Sandoval, steamy songstress Nora Cruz and  outstanding harmonica player Brett Mechanic.

While Virgil developed his style with the legendary slide master Robert Lowery, touring across the US and trips to Europe in the 90s. Virgil has stayed busy in the Santa Cruz working with several players over years, including JB and the Nightshift, Reverend Rabia, jazzy Gil Cadilli, and the mesmerizing Preacher Boy.
