On Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, the Brian Flynn Allstars will be appearing at the Bear Creek Saloon in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
The Allstars lineup will be Brian Flynn himself, Blackfoot's Jay Johnson of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Grammy award-winner Jose Rossy, John June of Tucson, AZ, Joey Cordova of Taos, NM and Pagosa Springs' own DC Duncan. The members of the band feature current and former members of the Southern Rock Allstars, the Talking Heads, Blackfoot, Santana, Sammy Hagar, Robert Palmer, Patti LaBelle and the Rossington band, among others.
 Brian, hailing from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, has spent several years as the musical director at Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina. Most recently he's started a recording project in famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studios with Jay Johnson and Mike Estes of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Jose Rossy, Grammy-winning percussionist with Patti LaBelle, has also appeared and recorded with Carlos Santana, Robert Palmer and the Talking Heads. A virtuoso percussionist most often associated with the jazz-fusion, world-music sounds he produced with supergroup Weather Report in the early ’80s, José Rossy has amassed a body of work that defies “genre-lization.” From symphony orchestras and philharmonics to Talking Heads and Sesame Street, Rossy’s colorful handprint can be found on some of the most creative musical collaborations across a full spectrum of styles over the past 30 years.
