Mikey Junior with Busker Incognito & The SHOW
Busker Incognito & The SHOW is the name for the band as well as the name for the concert presentation. Serving up blues-based, original music rooted in the Delta style, yet delivered via an original blend of contemporary lamentations of the human experience, bawdy double entendre expressions of human sexuality, epic outbursts of the blues' baby rock & roll and more, Busker Incognito & The SHOW will both entertain you and get your mojo workin'!
Mikey Junior burst onto the blues scene less than a dozen years ago and since that time has amassed an impressive catalog of music and praise from music fans and industry insiders.
For a musical style that has historically placed so much weight on lineage, the passing of more and more of the old masters poses a dire question: What is the future of the blues and who will lead the charge?
Well, for blues fans in the Northeast, that question is routinely answered every night Mikey Junior hits the stage. His infectious personality and absolute command of his medium leave little doubt the blues is in good hands.
Self-taught from his impressive collection of blues vinyl, Mikey was a full-time musician before he even graduated high school. By the time he was in his early twenties, seasoned players were taking notice and it wasn’t long before one blues society after another scrambled to get him to their stage.
Before long, Mikey was a staple of the blues circuit on the East Coast.
Richard Skelly, Blues Revue Magazine, wrote: “Mikey Junior is exactly what blues needs today — talented, engaging and young. He bridges the gap between generations of music lovers and makes it cool to love something old-school, winning over audiences throughout the country with the sheer power, passion, and sincerity of his live show.”
Doors open at 5:00 pm for the 6:00 concert.
