Sounds Like"SLOP-JAR DELTA FUNK!!!"

Winner - 2007 Best Acoustic Blues Guitar, 2006 Best Slide Guitar - Washington Blues Society Best of the Blues

"He's been compared to Ry Cooder and Leo Kottke...his style is a fusion of the Chicago and the Delta blues.... hip-hopped up with an amplified acoustic bottleneck, wailing against a VERY funky bump-and-grind rhythm section. The sum of the whole is nothing less than marvelous. A must hear." - Victory Music Review

"Vigarino's guitar masterwork (particularly on dobro and slide) ignites tunes like Louisiana Breakdown, and his baritone vocals range from world-weary John Doe (of X) to soulful Delbert McClinton" - Jazz Times

"Slide guitar with the virility and passion of Son House, combined with a jolt of addictive funk." NPR - KPLU, All Blues

"Vigarino manages to combine rockabilly, ballads, and the blues, giving you a feel for what this wild man is capable of on stage and in the studio." - Blues To Does

"He's original, he's unpretentious, he ain't no poseur or imitator and he's not afraid to sing his mind with 'politically incorrect' lyrics." - Real Blues

"Nick Vigarino is where country blues meets the year 2000" - Long John Baldry

"We were promised that this guy smoked, but even that's putting things lightly...Nick took to dismantling what was left of all sensibility with the skill of a surgeon and the impact of a wrecking ball." - Washington Blues Society

"Wear comfortable shoes. Dancing is not exactly mandatory, but you might want to check for a pulse if this doesn't do it for you." - Anacortes American

"Nick opened the show with a blistering set that ignited the dance floor. He didn't give his band a rest until two hours and ten minutes into the set. And then only taking a 20 minute break before starting the next music set. Nick was playing possessed and went right up until closing time just a few minutes before 2 am." - Jet City Blues News

Come join my cause:
WBS Blues Foundation IBC Challenge !
You will be able to recruit friends, raise money, and add a
profile badge to show your support!
Join_cause_button_260x52

Some of you know by now that the Red Hot Blues Sisters and Alice Stuart are both semi-finalists in the 2009 IBC Challenge and are Memphis bound in February.


We realize that you may not be able to make it to their shows and benefit events due to locations and perhaps cost. In an attempt to offer an alternative and perhaps offset the cost involved with a benefit event and arranging the free performances of up to six bands and venue costs and door charges and diner and drink...you get the picture; consider this offer to arrange your donation through this site. The suggested donation is $25.00 US.


Your donation will go to the Washington Blues Society envelope earmarked for The Red Hot Blues Sisters and Alice Stuart.


Additionally this IBC Challenge Campaign may be utilized to assist each year's artist eligible for the semi-finals. Each musicians cost for completion of the IBC Challenge is at least $1000.00 US so we have a lot of work to do. This campaign item does not in any way replace the killer benefit shows that are coming your way this Summer, but offers and alternative.


You can be a Red Hotz and/or Alice Stuart benefactor. Donations made in excess of 50.00 will result in cool prizes like autographed T-shirts and other special autographed merchandise.


So thank you in advance for being a patron of the Blues, and please pass this along to your friends and family right away.


Suze and Teri
The Red Hot Blues Sisters
