Protoje

Red Beans & Rice blends original compositions and lesser-known classics into an up tempo danceable gumbo of New Orleans-influenced, blues-inspired party music. This Monterey-based band of thirty years features a musical feast of guitar, vocals, keyboards, bass, drums, saxes, and trombone.

Al's rootsy, soulful music is a true melting pot flavored by everything from Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Wonder. Backed by a stellar band, including Jeff Langan on drums, Bill Walker on lead guitar, and Jesse DeCarlo on bass, Al's musical stylings and stage presence are irresistible.
