Summary
FOR COLD SHOTT and THE HURRICANE HORNS: I have been a member since 1994 and Manager of COLD SHOTT and THE HURRICANE HORNS since 2002. The band started in Phoenix, AZ in 1990, as the 3-piece “COLD SHOT BLUES BAND”. The band evolved, under the leadership of founder Ted Kowal (bass, manager) to become a powerful mainstay in the Arizona R&B, Blues, Funk and Soul music circuits. The band celebrated its 34th Year Anniversary in 2024 !! Adding a horn section and a formal name change to the band in 1991, COLD SHOTT and THE HURRICANE HORNS performs regularly at local clubs, community and municipal festivals, as well as music showcases and concerts. The band features many veteran Arizona musicians most of whom have performed professionally since the 1960’s, not only in Arizona but all across the United States! Winning the 1999 Phoenix Blues Society Annual Blues Showdown, we were sent to Memphis, TN to represent Arizona in the International Blues Challenge. The band was also chosen as the Year 2000 “Best Blues Band” as awarded by The Arizona Republic. COLD SHOTT has opened up for or backed notable artists such as Delbert McClinton, Jerry Lawson, Guitar Shorty, Chico Chisum and Little Milton. 2010 saw them open for both Eddie Money and The Robert Cray Band and 2011 we opened for the multi-year Blues Music Awards winner Tommy Castro ! Our 9-piece group boasts a rocking rhythm section, powerful vocals and a 3-piece horn section…….the band is sure to make you get up and dance! COLD SHOTT and THE HURRICANE HORNS performs Classic and Contemporary R&B, Soul, Blues, Rock, Funk and Jazz living up to its motto: Gimmick-free pro performance with ‘Old School’ authenticity! Specialties: Classic and Contemporary R&B, Soul, Blues, Rock, Funk and Jazz
