Reverend Blues

About Me

The turn of the Millennium was a mark of a new beginning for Rev. Blues. Just like a child searches for his own identity the band was about to find its own. The band has played a variety of Spanish Christian music in the past for many years under different names. This group of guys broke new ground as they transitioned from their Spanish roots over into the English market. Their style by choice was the blues as it was easy to deliver the gospel message addressing life’s everyday issues. The band has been able to incorporate Spanish lyrics and its musical arrangements with the blues. The bands exploration experience has been great one and is only expected to get even better.REV. BLUES was formed in the summer of 2000 by changing its name and style. What started out as somewhat of a joke has now become a full time ministry. The idea started out with a song entitled "Adam and Eve had the blues" One Sunday morning when the band formally known as Isaiah 61 was wrapping up praise & worship. They decided to publicly present the song for the first time. The band was surprised to see the reactions of the people as the song was received very well. After the service a man approached the band and asked, "what's the name of the blues band?” Well, at that point there really wasn't a blues band. So at that point the man commented "Tony's a reverend and he's playing the blues perhaps the band should be called Reverend Blues." And well folks that's how it all got started.
