The Blues Mongrels electric quartet are Carlos del Junco harmonica and vocals, Mike Kerr guitar, Henry Heillig bass, and Sean O’Grady drums.

Carlos del Junco has toured many parts of the globe and is considered one the world’s top diatonic harmonica players. He’s released ten recordings and is a dynamic live performer, having played virtually every major blues, folk and jazz festival in Canada. In addition to two JUNO nominations, del Junco won two gold medals for both blues and jazz categories at the Hohner World Harmonica Championships in 1993 in Germany. Playing a ten hole diatonic harmonica, Carlos has developed the unique ability to play chromatically by using an "overblow" technique. 

He’s one of the few pioneers of this overblow method, bringing musical credibility to what has still been considered by many in the music industry to be a fringe folk instrument.
