Lot's going on this summer- too much, but it's been nothing but fun.
We have had great shows all over the country, meeting new people and making new friends.
Thank you to everyone who took time to come out and see us.
We have gone through some musicians over the years- this is a hard job- and no one works harder than the guys in the Mike Zito band. Bike hung in there for a year on the bass guitar.
He did a great job, but is tired of the road and wanted to get back to Saint Louis........
Thanks to Bike- and good luck my friend.
Ian Bailey joined us at the beginning of July on the drums and has really set the standard for our live show. Ian has played professionally for a very long time- playing with Charlie Sexton, Ian Moore, and others. I met Ian while he was playing with my friend Hamilton Loomis.
I knew I needed to get him in my band someday- I am very happy to have Ian on stage with me every night.
George Potsos is replacing Bike on the bass in our trio.
George has been a rock star for quite a while!
George is a member of the Saint Louis band "King of the Hill".
KOTH was signed to SBK records and toured the world- with songs on the top 100 Billboard charts. George has been playing the past few years with Devon Allman's Honeytribe.
George is a world class bassist and can sing his ass off!
Ian and I are very excited to have George join us this weekend.
We have a wonderful west coast trip lined up in September- playing the San Francisco Blues Fest with the Mannish Boys- should be awesome!!!!
Hope to see you out there soon.
Peace and Blues in 2008.
Zito
