I play with my blood brother in a country blues duo called The Suitcase Brothers,he plays harmonica and piano,I play the guitar and sing. We have been working on this project for about ten years now, and we haven't killed each other so far!! :-) I was born in Barcelona, Spain, that makes a little bit harder to listen to the blues and country blues from an early age. Now, after years of learning, listening, playing, dedication, love and respect for this music I finally can start to understand a little bit more of it. In the year 2000 I went to Austin, TX for the first time in my life. I was very lucky to meet some great musicians... sometimes that happened at a very cool music store called Austin Vintage Guitars. I did two more trips to Austin until I finally decided to stay in TX for a while. Once I was there I was slowly matching names to the faces of the past, the people I met at that music store, people like Dave Biller and Redd Volkaert among others. I joined Miss Lavelle White's band and thanks to that I toured a little in Texas, that was the real deal right there, old school, I could have never ever had that experience in Spain. I remember the great influence that made in my playing amazingly talented musicians, such as Dave Biller, Nick Curran, Mike Keller, Andrew Nafziger, Gary Primich and Steve James. Recently, I have had the real pleasure of taking some pre war blues guitar lessons from Paul Rishell. Paul and his wife, great harmonica player Annie Raines, were the bests hosts of all, I had a great time in Boston thanks to them. Another friend of mine host me at his home in Austin Texas, Steve James. I had a blast playing and listening to music and having cool conversations with Steve 'P' James. Here in Barcelona I keep playing the blues with my brother and doing my best to spread it out everywhere I go. I need to play and listen to music everyday of my life as much as I need food, sex, love and some sleep... If you like to know more please check www.thesuitcasebrothers.com
