Hot August Nights : Weekend At Harvelle's

Delgado Bros : Something In The Water

The Delgado Brothers are a natural born phenomenon. Intensely musical, they fire it up and perform like a well-oiled machine, pumping soul-drenched blues and r&b, exhibiting a standard far above a "bar band". Each brother is better than the next, playing with raw emotion and years of experience - all with poet's souls. They play the blues and jam what can only be called "soul music" in the most literal sense- because it comes from their souls.

The Delgado Brothers embody the soul of East L.A.

Bob Delgado on bass and lead singer/drummer Steve Delgado

The man on the keys- Dave Kelly - is lightning fast and gets many, many cool points for playing a genuine B3 with it's spinning Leslie amp. The shit is heavy!! You have to be a real dedicated muthafucker to commit to that!!

Joey Delgado displays dazzling guitar work. An incredible musician!!

It's always a thrill to watch world class musicians do their thing. The Delgado Brothers are the real deal. If you've never seen 'em live, that's something you can rectify. They play Harvelle's approximately every other month, so be aware. You can always check Harvelle's Facebook page for daily updates.

A big Saturday night shout-out to Joseph, Alex, Sheena, John, Mika, Erin and Ernesto. Thanks always to David and Cevin. And one more shout-out to Keith, E-Z, Demitrius and Dino at West 4th/Jane.

Latin tinged blues and r&b! Always a good time and a great night to let loose and dance. Get on the floor! You'll be glad you did!

Sunday:

It's a funky burlesque cabaret and the master of ceremonies - Toledo Diamond - is one of the most charismatic figures in L.A.'s underground.The Toledo Show has been turning people on for nearly a decade.

JT Ross says:

"Harvelle's is the OLDEST live music venue on the west side and is among the most intimate of clubs one will find in Los Angeles. It's dark & sexy and the perfect room for dressing up, sipping your favorite top shelf cocktail and dancing the night away. So bring your friends, husbands, wifes, lovers, neighbors and anyone who simply wants to have an incredible time."

Delgado Bros 4 Life. Efil 4 Sorb

Los Brothers Delgado are an incredible Latin-tinged blues and soul group featuring Joey(guitar), Stevie(drums), Bobby(bass) with Victor Passetti (percussion).


These East L.A. boys can funk it up live and any other way you serve it. Their latest CD "Learn To Fly" is classic beautiful Delgado Bros music at it's best.


The evening - which is just heating up as I post - was introduced by perennial Harvelle's doorman Joseph who's words of wisdom have gotten me through many rough times. In future blog posts I will be sharing his words and some of his unique quotations.
