Chris Puente is a young man I have known for around thirty years. In other words most of his life. His parents were very talented performers that I knew when we lived in Plantersville. Chris has taken the family knack for song and made a real contributuion to Texas music. Erin Marie Kost, his accompanist plays a mean saw, and YOU HAVE TO HEAR HER! It is too wild, and beautiful!
Puente delivers driving, grinding, time travelling blues lyrics out of some Louisiana juke joint alter ego that enters his throat when he begins to sing... all while his graceful lady begins to make a saw whine and sing like Sirens from deep down in a place that makes you instantly think that this is something so cool that it is ahead of its time, and you are the first to partake of this fresh and invigorating sound, or something so old that Druids once danced to its vibrations...
They are an awesome team together. I am so, so proud and thankful I got to hear them,and look forward to NEXT TIME Phil.
GREAT MUSIC COMING UP AT THE CORNER CAFE!
