Robert Cray and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were awesome! My entire experience was tainted, however by the parking situation. It was our first trip to Montalvo and it was dark when we arrived. Despite the promise of "big white signs" to guide us to parking and the free shuttles, we couldn't find it. Montalvo did a terrible job with managing the parking.Written on Sep 13 2010

Love Montalvo for shows. Not a bad seat in the house.Written on Sep 13 2010
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was impressive - great horn section and very personable on stage. A solid set and I even bought a cool tee shirt.
Robert Cray and his band was VERY VERY SOLID. They had a LOT OF FUN on stage, performed hits and new tunes strongly and Cray was superb on the guitar and in voice. They were BOTH great sets and I would ABSOLUTELY go and see them BOTH again. The discounted tkts from GOLDSTAR made the evening happen for us as well. SEE THESE GUYS if they come to your town,...for sure. PS - Cray's bass player and key board player were also BOTH fine additions to him and their music....

I have to agree with "Goldstar" member. Show was super Superb!!!Written on Sep 15 2010
5 + stars to performances. WOW, WOW, WOW.
However, parking was another story!! To few signs to direct cars to the 4-5 miles away "free" parking. Otherwise you would have had to purchase "parking" tickets "IN ADVANCE" Thru ticketmaster"
NOT COOL

Description
Robert Cray:
Robert Cray’s This Time – the first studio album on singer-songwriter-guitarist Cray’s own imprint Nozzle Records, distributed by Vanguard Records – arrives at a vital juncture in the musician’s career, marked by creative renewal....
"Blues is one of the foundations of our music, but it’s not all that we play,” Cray says. “When I first started playing guitar, I wanted to be George Harrison – that is, until I heard Jimi Hendrix. After that, I wanted to be Albert Collins and Buddy Guy and B.B. King. And then there are singers like O.V. Wright and Bobby Blue Bland. It’s all mixed up in there.”
He continues, “Every time somebody asks me about where my music comes from, I give them five or six different directions – a little rock, soul, jazz, blues, a little gospel feel. Then there are some other things that maybe fall in there every once in a while, like a little Caribbean flavor or something. You just never know. I always attribute it to the music we grew up listening to, and the radio back in the ‘60s. It’s pretty wide open. It’s hard to put a tag on it.”
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy:
Since their arrival on the music scene in 1993 in a legendary residency at Los Angeles’ Brown Derby nightclub, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s irresistible live show and aggressive, musically perceptive approach has proven them over time to be the singular standout among the numerous bands that launched the Nineties swing revival. The seven-man group forged a massively successful fusion of classic American sounds from jazz, swing, Dixieland and big-band music, building their own songbook of original dance tunes, and, sixteen years later, BBVD is a veteran force that to this day adds new fans by the roomful every time they play.
BBVD’s originals rocketed the group into its first phase of stardom, when “You & Me and the Bottle Makes Three (Tonight)” and “Go Daddy-O” were featured in the 1996 indie film landmark Swingers. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, named famously after an autograph by blues legend Albert Collins, sold more than two million copies of the albums Americana Deluxe and This Beautiful Life, and received national critical acclaim while the band’s music has appeared in over sixty movies and television shows.
