For the second time The Long Island Blues Society has chosen Frank Latorre and the King Bees to send to Memphis to compete in the International Blues Competition! Not only is this the second time for Frank, but as part of the King Bees Frank has added young guitar prodigy JP Blues in the mix and ironically this is also the second trip for JP Blues to Memphis.

Frank Latorre and the King Bees

   Frank Latorre, a renowned musician and higly respected Long Island artist has been creating his art and music for over 30years. In that time he has earned recording credits that reach from "Peter Green" to the 80's hitmakers "Winger". He has performed from New Orleans to New York with some of the greats in the blues world, such as Kenny Neil, Savoy Brown, Yonrico Scott and Larry Garner to name just a few.

 



   The King Bees, are a double threat with both Frank Latorre on Harp, Guitar and Vocals and  JPBlues on lead guitar. JP learned the blues under the wing of Sam "Bluzman" Taylor. From the eary age of 14 JP began playing festivals around the country sharing the stage with such artists as Johnny Winter, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Trucks and so many more. Now 20, a seasoned musician and a student of Music Business at Five Towns College he is regarded as one of the top Blues guitar players in the metropolitan New York area. With Frank and JP together they form a very powerful and formable front. Add to that Lou "The Juice" Guisto on drums (up to recently working the Las Vegas show band circuit) laying down that solid beat and Bassist Mike Porter keeping the low end locked in, they secure the foundation needed to support the power of Frank Latorre and JPBlues!

 

There is no doubt that Frank Latorre and the King Bees are a powerful Harmonica and Guitar drivin' contemporary blues band!
