COLD SWEAT ROC
FRIDAY, JUNE 19TH, 8-10PM
Cold Sweat Roc returns to Bernunzio Uptown Music for a night of smokin' delta blues. Featuring Steve Casilio on guitar, Dave Gardner, and Ray Sciarratta.
"Then there's a quartet like Rochester's Cold Sweat, a straight-up, straight-ahead blues band. Sure, there are detours into Latin rhythms and rockabilly jump, but this is a heavy, rockin' blues quartet, pure and simple. Obviously influenced by heavy blues cats like George Thorogood and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Cold Sweat — Steve Casilio, guitar and vocals; Ray Sciaratta, bass and vocals; Mike Giugno, drums; and the newest kid to the line-up, Roger Reddy, keyboards — exhibits little wasted flash in its execution. There are no histrionics, the music does the talking. And Cold Sweat's bluesy chatter is rough-hewn and glass-pack raw, due in part to Casilio's killer guitar tone and Sciaratta's lyrics..."-Frank De Blase, City Newspaper 8/7/2013
