About Me

ATTENTION: The Gusto Brothers have added to the family. On Rhythm Guitar: John "T-Bone" Cimino, on Bass, "Keen" Johnny Keener, and on drums is the Ultimate Drummer,Christopher Emery. All three bring a new and exciting flavor to the Gusto Experience. Don’t miss them.The Gusto Brothers philosophy is one that suggests blues music should pick you up, not bring you down, and the musical content of the Gustos originals brings that belief into reality. With songs that tell of the troubles of trying to get backstage, their search for the elusive Sasquatch, and titles like Cathouse Party, the group is blazing a new trail into the music world and theyre laughing all the way.The Gusto Brothers original numbers have a sound that is described as Chicago-flavored, rock-n-rollin’ blues-abilly. The sound comes complete with guitar chops of Paul (Cinnamon Kidd) Cimino and the bluesy harmonica stylings of the wicked wordsmith, Steve (Reno) Lindstrom. Steve has been playing and performing for more than 10 years. His original blues numbers have a frequent comic quality, all meant in good fun and taste, to get the crowd smiling (and dancing). Paul has been playing and performing for more than 20 years. His versatile style ranges from deep, soulful blues to hard, rocking barnburners. The group plays an energetic brand of rock -n-roll blues, with nods to such bands as AC/DC, ZZ Top, and even a little Johnny Cash. On special occasions they will even offer up a Tribute to the Greatest Band on Earth, Tenacious D. We invite you to come have some fun with us.
