 Carlos del Junco has had one of the busiest years of his career so far, with concerts and harmonica workshops in Argentina, Sweden and Canada. Carlos and band will be stopping by Cobalt, ON at the Classic Theatre on Oct. 13 and the Silver Dollar in Toronto on Oct. 20 before he heads off for a multi country European tour (Finland, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary) including a four day workshop intensive in the town of Trossingen, Germany where the Hohner harmonica factory is located (also where he was crowned the the 1993 diatonic blues/jazz World harmonica champion). He'll be heading into the studio this fall to lay down some tracks for a new recording, slated for spring release. Kevin Breit will again be lending a helping hand with guitar duties. Other Ontario dates in November: 17th at Orangeville Opera House and 23rd at Zooma Zooma in Jordan. www.carlosdeljunco.com |
