Blues and Bourbon Wednesdays: Aaron Moreno and Friends

Blues and Bourbon Wednesdays: Aaron Moreno and Friends

Presented by Swell Productions and The Starlet Room at The Starlet Room

A true product of the Sacramento blues scene, guitarist Aaron "King" Moreno has been an ambassador for Sacramento blues around the world, showcasing a style that owes as much to jazz and country guitarists as it does to blues guitarists. Born and raised in Sacramento, Moreno got his first lessons in blues from Sacramento Blues Hall of Famer Johnny “Guitar” Knox. He continued his blues guitar education under the mentorship of another Sacramento Blues Hall of Famer, Little Charlie Baty, developing a style that would combine blues, jazz, and country guitar. From there, he spent his formative years playing guitar for and recording with the late, great pianist Omar Shariff.

In recent years, Moreno has broadened his musical horizons through his association with highly respected Sacramento jazz bassist Harley White Jr. By blurring the lines between blues, jazz, funk, and even hip-hop, Moreno continues pushing the music forward in ways his predecessors did decades earlier.
