FREE CONCERT: Catskill Mountain Boys and Esquela to perform at the Second Annual Catskills Cup BBQ, Friday, July 30, 2010 / 4:30 p.m.

ESQUELAsmEsquela offers an eclectic blend of happy juxtapositions — super-hip yet steeped in rural roots and classical sensibilities, indie and edgy at times, yet organic, groovy and folkish. Esquela is roots-rock with a honky-tonk edge, a sense of humor, and a sense of history.

Front-man “Chico” (John Finn: bass, vocals) has been writing and performing with lead-guitarist Keith Christopher since 2001. Christopher was an original member of the Georgia Satellites, and has worked with the likes of Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Billy Joe Shaver, Tony Joe White, Paul Westerberg, and Todd Snyder.  Christopher is an accomplished, masterful songsmith, as well; among his many songwriting credits, Christopher has written for the late, great Ray Charles. Lead-vocalist Rebecca Frame’s powerful delivery and soulful, gritty, emotional tone draws comparison to the likes of Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, and Susan Tedeschi.  She hits notes with slick, strong, surgical precision, but never at the expense of the “rural roots” nature of the material.
