PHOTOS from Regina Bonelli at Muddy Waters Gastropub


By James DeSalvo

originally published: 05/14/2023

(ASBURY, NJ) -- NY Blues Hall of Fame member Regina Bonelli performed at Muddy Waters Gastropub on Saturday, May 6, 2023 and photographer James DeSalvo was on hand to take photos.

"I had the distinct opportunity to attend this performance at the Muddy Waters Gastropub. The owner Attila Geczi was kind enough to put me up front to cover Regina and the band for a night of blues. An excellent performance with this 4 piece group and a sit in performance with harp player Andy O'Hearn," said James DeSalvo.

Released in March 2022, her third album "Truth Hurts” is still receiving worldwide air play just as her first two albums did including rotation on BB King's Sirius XM channel and all major blues radio worldwide. The album is still charting and has achieved over 40 consecutive weeks on the Roots Music Report charts.

The band was comprised of Regina Bonelli (vocals and keys), Jack Walsh (lead guitar), Moby Medina (bass guitar), and Jason Reddish (drums).

Muddy Waters Gastropub is located at 1090 NJ State Route 173 in Asbury, New Jersey.
