  Michael Burks
Alligator recording artist Michael Burks !
Like a freight train rolling through the
night, guitarist/vocalist Michael Burks plows through the blues with
relentless power and a full head of steam.  Combining his remarkable
talent with an intense dedication to his craft, Michael has earned
well-deserved national recognition and become one of the blues world"s
fastest rising blues stars.  Although he was a W.C. Handy Award nominee
for Best New Artist 2000, Michael is a seasoned veteran in every
sense.  His first gig came at the age of six, when, during a family
trip to southern Arkansas, the fledgling Burks took the stage with his
cousin"s band and thrilled an unsuspecting audience.  Today, each live
performance is a testament to Michael"s thirty-plus years of playing
the blues.  His hard-driving fretwork and captivating showmanship have
ignited a legion of fans, as audiences from coast to coast can"t help
but jump on the Michael Burks train.

  Mike Zito
“Pearl River” is Mike's second release on Electo Groove, and he is joined this
time out by a handful of special guests including Cyril Neville, Anders
Osborne, Reese Wynans (Double Trouble), Susan Cowsill, Lynwood Slim and
Jumpin’ Johnny Sansone. The result is a rollicking slice of Americana
served up with heaping slabs of greasy New Orleans funk, gritty blues
and good old fashioned rock 'n' roll.  This CD just debuted at #6 on Billboard!!

“Zito’s voice is so incredibly soulful that it can be placed into that
diminutive group of elite male blue-eyed soul/blues singers like Steve
Winwood, Michael McDonald and Rod Stewart… A fine guitarist and
composer as well, it’s a winning combination of a genuine and complete
performer.”
