Hi Alex,
    Chris is originally from Hartford, CT, USA.  I used to play with =
Chris on and off about 10 years ago when he was just really starting =
out.  He was already becoming quite the monster guitarist back then.  =
Good to hear that Chris is getting more and more recognized and touring =
Europe, etc.  I don't think I've seen or spoken with him in like 10 =
years but he's a nice guy as you said, very humbled and laid back.

Regards,
Don D.

  Hello everybody.
  I'm really curios if any of you have ever heard about Chris Tofield =
and the Bluesbanders band?
  I had the chance to see them here in Romania. The drummer is Romanian =
(and friend of a friend of mine) so they were invited to the Bucharest =
Blues Festival and they also played in a few pubs.
  I never heard and saw such a blues performance. I admit I haven't seen =
many foreign blues bands: John Mayal, Alvin Lee, Eddie The Chief =
Clearwater. And these great musicians played on open stages with =
thousands of auditors. But these three bluesmen were incredible.
  And what was amazing for me and had something to do with this list: =
Chris Tofield and James Cotton had the same manager!!! And he played =
with Cotton. And he also played with Montgomery, Jerry Portnoy and =
Musslewhite. And BB King. I wouldn't believe it if he told me that =
before the show, but after his performance I did.He is a very nice guy, =
very funny and friendly. And why a musician like Chris Tofield gains =
only 80 USD for a 2 hour incredible performance I don't understand.

  All the best,
  Alex
