Mike grew up with the blues...Jimmy Reed and the Allman brothers playing on the speakers. His father Joe showing him the pure crisp tones that pour out of vintage guitars. Allowing him to appreciate all of the incredible musicians that devoted their lives to keeping the blues alive. Stay tuned in on the live events page, and catch them playing with their band "Backbone".
Mike and Joe were featured on rockin roll hall of famer Dion DiMucci's album "Stomping Ground" that hit #1 on the Billboard Blues charts. They played soulful guitar solo's on the tune "I've got to get to you" with Dion and Boz Scaggs on vocals.
His mother Jill has also been working very hard on brining an incredible play to broadway theaters "The Wanderer" . A ground breaking musical about Dion DiMucci's life.
Mike's mission is to honor all of the blues/ rock'n roll musicians that have influenced him, and bring the blues into the light for the new generations to come.
Dion DiMucci, Jill Menza & Mike Menza
