Cold Shott & The Hurricane Horns Biography

Formed in 1989, The Cold Shot Blues Band, a classic and contemporary blues trio managed by Valley veteran Ted Kowal, made it’s mark in Phoenix in backing Chicago Blues legend Chico Chisum as well as headlining their own performances. Ted always had a love for big-band R&B, Blues and Soul (i.e. -B. B. King, Buddy Guy, Delbert McClinton) and reformed the band in 1992 to present local favorite Cold Shott and The Hurricane Horns. Over the past 10 years Cold Shott and The Hurricane Horns has worked to become a powerful mainstay in the Arizona R&B, Blues and Soul circuits as well as performing at many special events venues and concerts through out the Southwest. Playing its original tunes as well as classic and contemporary favorites, the band hosts many veteran Arizona musicians who have played professionally for up to 30+ years, not only in Arizona but all across the United States! Cold Shott and The Hurricane Horns proudly showcases the strong and soulfully inspired vocals of our local Phoenix legend, ‘Small Paul’ Hamilton, who has entertained the Arizona and Southwestern U. S. crowds since the 1960’s.
