Coco Montoya (born Henry Montoya, October 2, 1951, Santa Monica,
California) is an American blues guitarist and former member of John
Mayall And the Bluesbreakers. Montoya's career began in the mid 1970s when Albert Collins asked him
to join his band as drummer. Collins took Montoya under his wing and
taught him his "icy hot" guitar style. The two remained friends even
after Montoya left Collins' band.
In the early 1980s John Mayall heard Montoya playing guitar in a Los
Angeles bar. Soon after Mayall asked Montoya to join the newly reformed
Bluesbreakers. He remained a member of the band for 10 years.
In 1995 he appeared with the Cate Brothers for the resumption of their
recording career on their release, Radioland. Since that same year, Montoya
has recorded several solo albums.
In 2002, he featured on the Bo Diddley tribute album Hey Bo Diddley – A
Tribute!, performing the song "Pills."
