Burning Hot Blues Rock
and Classic Rock

Sean and the Skinwalkers is a blues rock trio from Monterey County California. Just as comfortable playing traditional blues as they are tearing through a psychedelic rock song, the common thread is always the blues and the intensity that they bring to every performance. No two performances are ever the same as everything is raw and changes on the fly, with improvised wild guitar solos that often take place in the audience. Sometimes compared to the legends of the 70s blues rock scene, Sean and the Skinwalkers does cover a wide range of music in addition to playing psychedelic blues rock originals.

You'll hear covers and inspiration from artists like Led Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Free, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Marcus King, Stray Cats, Tab Benoit and more, but always with the Skinwalker's unique flavor. Keep your camera ready as you never know what to expect, Sean is likely to jump into the audience and use your beer bottle to play slide guitar while he has a conversation with you. Nobody ever forgets a Sean and the Skinwalkers performance! Original music on every streaming platform, with a new album releasing soon!

Solo acoustic Blues, rock and Americana – Ricky formerly of local legends Rough House and currently Del Mar Trio

Ricky Torres is a Santa Cruz-area guitarist, singer and songwriter, currently performing with The Del Mar Trio and formerly with the band Rough House. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Ian Moore, Doyle Bramhall II, Jimi Hendrix and a wide range of blues, rock and Americana influences, Ricky's solo acoustic performances mix familiar songs with original material and plenty of room for interpretation and improvisation.

“I'm inspired by the song itself. I don't necessarily want to reproduce it—I like to find my own way through it and let it breathe. To me, a song is a living, breathing body, and every time you play it, it can take you somewhere a little different.” What began as an occasional opportunity to perform solo has grown through the encouragement of audiences who wanted to hear more. Ricky brings that same spontaneous, expressive approach to the acoustic guitar—one guitar, one voice, and songs allowed to go wherever the moment takes them.
