Powerful live recording of American blues rocker Mike Zito in top picture and
sound quality, recorded on October 9, 2024, by WDR Rockpalast - dynamic
trio featuring Mike Zito (guitar, vocals), Doug Bykirt (bass, backing vocals),
and Matt Johnson (drums, backing vocals).
Mike Zito began taking guitar lessons at the age of five and was an integral
part of the local music scene in St Louis by the end of his teenage years
Mike initially released his first records, such as "America's Most Wanted" and "Slow It
Down," independently. In 2008, he finally signed a record deal with Eclecto Groove
Records. The title track of his 2009 album "Pearl River" won the 2010 Blues Music
Award in the "Song of the Year" category. His third album with Eclecto Groove,
"Greyhound," was nominated for "Best Blues Rock Album" at the 2011 Blues Music
Awards. In the same year, Mike Zito founded the band Royal Southern Brotherhood
(three studio albums, one live album) together with Cyril Neville, a legend from the
band The Meters, and Devon Allman. Zito and Devon Allman, the son of Gregg Allman
and his first wife Shelley Kay Jefts, knew each other from their time together in St.
Louis, where Devon ran a guitar shop in the suburbs and the two jammed together. In
2013, Zito's album Gone to Texas was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the US;
his albums Make Blues Not War (2016) and First Class Life (2018) both reached
number one on the US Billboard Blues Albums chart. Zito founded the Gulf Coast
Records label with Guy Hale. His albums continued to chart and win awards. He
formed the Blood Brothers with New York blues rocker Albert Castiglia. The album
"Life Is Hard" (2024) again reached number one on the charts, and their joint tours
continued the success story. In October 2024, Mike Zito performed at the Rockpalast
as part of the Crossroads Festival, together with Doug Bykirt (bass, backing vocals)
and Matt Johnson (drums, backing vocals). . This is someone who knows what he's
singing about when it comes to the abysses and hardships that the world can
confront people with.
