MIKEY JR and the Stone Cold Blues

When the oldest continuously running blues society in the world says youʼre the “real deal”, that has to mean something. When blues forums toss your name around with the likes of harmonica masters like Little Walter and Sonny Boy...that has to mean something.

Of course, there will always be skeptics; but to blues fans all over the United States, there is no doubt that this young talent is chasing the masters at a pace that is truly frightening.

Growing up on the tough streets of Trenton, New Jersey, Mikey Jr. is a self-taught prodigy. With his impressive collection of vintage tapes, cdʼs and videos, Mikey spent the better part of his youth immersing himself in the world of blues music. By the time he was twenty-one, he was already a road-tested player, making even ardent blues purists, take notice.

Since that time, Mikey Jr. has released an impressive six cdʼs as well as a documentary DVD. Heʼs been praised by blues societies as well as players for his original take on ʻold schoolʼ styles and his latest release, ʻPocket Full of Moneyʼ, an acoustic effort, only further demonstrates Mikeys command of the harp.

Mikey Jr. never set out to re-write the pages of blues history, but through his true love of the music and his undying dedication to the masters that came before him, it seems all but certain that Mikey Jr. will scribe his name in the annals of blues history - right along side the very masters that influence him.
