Eureka Springs Blues Party: Dos Roscoes

Los Dos are David Blankenship and Adam Moreno of Los Roscoes. Although David spent some time studying classical guitar at the University of North Texas, his heart and soul were always in the Blues. A native of Ft. Worth Texas, David grew up listening to the great Texas blues masters of the day, many of whom David played with at one time or another. He spent time on the road with Johnny Taylor gigging the “chitlin circuit” – often as the only white guy in the band. His style is pulled from the greats, from Robert Johnson onward through the three Kings (B.B> King, Albert King, Freddy King) to more contemporary blues artists. David is a “feel” player. His melodic playing is sometimes virtuosic but the emphasis isn’t on technical ability but on the emotion he’s feeling in the flow of the moment. No two solos are ever alike, they are completely improvised drawing from the energy of the audience.
