mike milazzo

Mike Milazzo blends folk, blues, rock and bluegrass music into an original, yet familiar sound. With a dark resonance in his voice, he sings with an honesty that feels like home. There is an urgency in his lyrics and guitar playing that translates into his live performances, as well as, his new CD "The World Outside".Mike has, in the past, lent his guitar playing and singing talents to bands and singer songwriters such as banjo master, Tom Hanway, "The Juicemen" -heavy alt. rock, "The U.S. Hairforce" -angular art rock, "Dweller"-rock and roll, "The Boardlords" -skate punk to which he is still an active member, and "Meg Griffin's Trainwreck" featuring pedal steel legend Buddy Cage.Mike Milazzo has had the pleasure of being an opening act for Donovan, Richie Havens, Levon Helm, and Vassar Clements. Milazzo plays most of the instruments on his new recording, "The World Outside" himself, with the exception of drums played by Martin Stroh, and guest appearances by Meg Griffin- backing vocals, Joe Meo- clarinet, Stan Hammond- keyboards, and Robin Gager on violin. The end result is a warm and powerful collection of songs. Mike can be seen and heard with his band Broken Arrow on Thursday evenings at The Sundown Saloon, in Greenwich, Ct. also he can be seen solo every Tuesday at Penny's open mike at the under St.Marks theater in NYC and around the Tri-state area. His new CD "The World Outside" is out now on Mighty-Quinn records.Contact Mike Milazzo
