Went and saw Ryan McGarvey Friday night at a summer concert series event at the ABQ zoo. He's a local kid, 26 years old, who is taking the blues world by storm. He's back in town for a few gigs following a long European tour. He's got some serious playing chops, and a lot of maturity in his style.

May go catch him at an indoor venue Saturday night, and I'm already planning to go see him a week from Saturday with a friend of mine. :thumb:
 
He's really good. Sounds like a lot of Joe Bonamassa influence in his sound.

Agreed. A friend of mine who knows Ryan told me last night that Ryan and Joe know each other, and Ryan has definitely been influenced by Joe. I could also hear Eric Johnson influences in his playing last night, too, particularly in some of the tones he pulled out of the guitar.
