        JULY 8,
2010 - When I interviewed MARK NANNI of LOS BLANCOS two years
ago, I heard a deeply engaging story about a band that could bring
people together through music despite economic hardships (little did I
know how prevalent the economic hardships in this country would
become). It was a great interview and a wonderful story but I got the
feeling that I was only hearing part of the story. LOS BLANCOS actually
began with a guitarist from Mexico City by the name of JOSE ALVAREZ who
made his way up north as far as Syracuse and led a bunch of white guys
into becoming one of the most sought after live blues bands in Upstate
New York and the surrounding states. After a couple of years
of being a local hero, ALVAREZ walked away from LOS BLANCOS, earned a
pilot's license and joined Zydeco luminary TERRANCE SIMIEN and his band
THE ZYDECO EXPERIENCE. The gig earned him a GRAMMy AWARD. Now Alvarez
and LOS BLANCOS have reunited for the album DIGGIN' IN and the results
are astonishing!YOU CAN

 ABOUT THE HOST:  BRiAN
LUSH (PROGRAM
PRODUCER / HOST)BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn’t
looked back
since.
From January 2005 to March 2009, LUSH was the host of the weekly
internet radio
show ROCKWIRED LIVE. He produced the program for the AMERICAN RADIO
NETWORK. As
the editor-in-chief for ROCKWiRED MAGAZiNE, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED’s
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE (but to a significantly lesser
degree).
“Those were the days before the internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable.” says LUSH “But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I’d be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I’m the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions.”
