Big Nick and The Gila Monsters have been together as a musical group since 1993, but have been friends and associates for many years prior to that. The chemistry of this group is apparent from the first moment they hit the stage. These boys belong together like peas and carrots.
Big Nick Riviera has been prowling blues clubs and festival stages between Cincinnati, and Phoenix for the last 20 years. Belting out an eclectic, but tasteful repertoire with his big, blues shouter voice, and serving up an extra helping of tone with his resonant harmonica work.
Mike "El Rey" Lewis is the guitar player and he is considered one of the finest players in Phoenix, having cut his teeth with Chuck Berry in the late '60's after starting Phoenix Area Blues bands in their High School days with James Mason. A Phoenix treasure, Bass player James "Muddy" Mason has been the cornerstone of dozens of landmark acts in the Phoenix area since the mid '60s.
Together since 1994, the stability of this group has been one of it's hallmarks. Bobby Whiteshoes, the founding drummer, passed the sticks to Pro drummer, Ricky J. Lockhart, after retiring in 2004. Ricky has picked up the torch, laying down the solid grooves this great Blues band is known for. With 5 self produced CDs under their own label, Monster-Tone Records, these guys are the real deal.
On "High, Wide & Handsome", Big Nick and The Gila Monsters have dug their claws deeply into the early styling's of T-Bone Walker and B.B. King. Also added to the nest are four all-new original tunes and a surprise bonus track.
