Press & Quotes

“Rico Monaco & his band are serious musicians who won a National Battle Of The Bands in 2002 sponsored by Cabo Wabo & Hard Rock Café.  I personally chose them & have had the pleasure of jamming with Rico on many occasions at the Cabo Wabo Cantina.
From Van Halen to Santana Rico Rocks!…… Sammy Hagar 09/11/06.

Rico Monaco and Sol sons, what can I say. Hands down the best band I have worked with in years. A sound very unique and can truly play the great music from Santana to Tito Puente. I get great pleasure every time we hit the stage together and jam. "Es un Descarga Tremenda!"      TITO PUENTE, JR.  September 12, 2006

 “Carlos Santana has nothing on Rico Monaco.  We are very fortunate to have such a talented musician and band in the Orlando area.  I close my eyes when he plays and it is awesome.  Go see him peform live and you will be amazed!”      
Patricia James (on air personality) on the air on WLOQ 103.1 Orlando   June 2006.

 “The band’s new CD is an absolute winner.  Loaded with dance-worthy world beat bounce, potential crossover cuts capable of infiltrating a variety of listener formats and top notch instrumentation.”    Orlando Weekly

 “This band is nothing short of stunning.  From start to finish, the tracks display the stellar guitar work of Monaco.”    Conections Magazine 

“featuring Rico Monaco, easily one of the best guitarists in the area.  The collective basks in the glory of outstanding musicianship.  The results are documented on a stunning, self-titled album released this year.     Orlando Weekly Music Awards issue

 September, 2002 - Jazz in Orlando - "You may know their music already. If not, get to know it because he’s the guy just described ... an amazing and talented guitarist who plays great shows consistently, puts all of his energy into delivering entertainment, is professional, has good business sense, works hard, and appreciates his listeners and fans."
