Santa Clarita Valley Entertainment Report

Big, fat, greasy congrats to SCVTV “House Blend” stars The Delgado Brothers, the veteran blues band from East L.A., who last week won America’s “Best Blues Band” honors at the International Blues Competition in Memphis.

Lead guitarist Joey Delgado also picked up the “Best Band Guitarist” award.

The Delgados out-performed dozens of bands from all over the world, so it’s a very big deal in the world of blues.

The band’s prize package includes eight days of sessions at the historic Ardent Studios in Memphis to work on their next album, along with bookings at major upcoming blues festivals, and a nice check for $3,000.

And Joey’s prize was a gorgeous brand-new Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop guitar to add to his quiver.

To join in the Delgados’ celebration, SCVTV will feature an encore broadcast of the “House Blend” episode hosted by yours truly featuring the Delgados with blues belter Sherry PruittSaturday night at 10.

It’s a classic show from Season 3, and you can see it on SCVTV in the Santa Clarita Valley and Orange Counties and streaming everywhere at scvtv.com.
