Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers
A Musical force on harmonica for over thirty years

"TOUGH AND TENDER" is the Mighty Flyers first new studio release since 1992 and is the album that their countless fans have been waiting for. It features the two newest members of the Flyers - guitarist Rick "LA Holmes" Holmstrom (who joined the band in 1995 after playing with Johnny Dyer and released his own solo debut, Lookout!, in 1996) and drummer Steve Mugalian, formerly of The James Harman Band.

Rod Piazza has been a musical force on harmonica for the past thirty-four years, and remains a commanding presence at the forefront of today' blues scene. "Tough And Tender" showcases the master of the chromatic at his blues best, enveloped by one of the hottest bands ever assembled. The Mighty Flyers are the preeminent proponents of the West coast swing blues sound. They are just as comfortable playing a shuffle, a tough raw Chicago-style blues, as they are playing a slow heart wrenching blues or a hard driven, fun rockin' down home boogie. Whatever the blues, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers consistently "burn down the house" as they reach for maiden improvisational territory - and find it!
