đRoots & Legacy
The DELTA WIRES began as a college blues project by frontman Ernie Pinata, tracing the genreâs journey from Mississippi Delta field hollers to electric Chicago blues. What started in East Bay clubs like Estherâs Orbit Room and Mandrakeâs quickly evolved with sit-ins from blues icons and stage time with legend into one of the tightest, most exciting blues bands on the scene.
