About Me


About COLD SHOTT and The Hurricane Horns
Formed in Mesa, AZ in 1990, The COLD SHOT BLUES BAND, a classic and contemporary blues trio managed by Valley music veteran TED KOWAL, made its mark in the Phoenix area by backing Chicago Blues legend CHICO CHISUM (Howlin' Wolf). Ted always had a love for big-band R&B, BLUES and SOUL (i.e. B. B. King, Buddy Guy, Delbert McClinton, Wilson Pickett, Tower of Power, Cold Blood) and reformed the band in 1992 to include horns and powerful lead vocals. Since 1992 COLD SHOTT and THE HURRICANE HORNS have worked to become a powerful mainstay in the Arizona R&B, Blues and Soul circuits.
The band presents their live recording "If You Got The Blues..." first as a loving tribute to its manager, bassist and founding member, TED "Madman" KOWAL, who passed away in early July 2002, and secondly in honor of the great Arizona musicians past and present, who have graced the band. Recorded in October 2002 at Phoenix's own THE RHYTHM ROOM, the CD boasts original tunes as well as classic and contemporary favorites. Proudly showcased are the strong and soulfully inspired vocals of our local Phoenix legend, 'SMALL PAUL' HAMILTON, who has entertained the Arizona and Southwestern U. S. crowds since the 1960's.
The band includes many veteran Arizona musicians who have played professionally for up to 30+ years, not only in Arizona but all across the United States! Come on out and dance to the music of one of the finest "OLD SCHOOL" bands in Arizona, especialy with a firey 3-piece horn section!!
