MICKE MOJO- Blues and Hardcore Boogie Maniac

About Me

"Micke Mojo is something as unusual as a hardcore Blues N` Roll artist in a world full of dull TV clichés like "Idol". His ambition is to be able to find that spot inside him self to draw the energy from. Whenever he performs in font of an audience he tries to play like he is pouring his life out. He plays some mean sounding guitartones and his powerful voice oozes with energy!" - Berndt Fransson, Jazzbulletinen Magazine.
Due to the way the industry and the market operate, Jazz and Blues music will never be in the mainstream. But a lot of people are into music that is deeply influenced by the blues, wether they think of it or not- everything from the Beatles to Metallica. I like to tell people about my singing heroes, people like James Carr and ZZ Hill, and my guitar heroes, like Johnny Winter, Albert Collins and Otis Rush.

Watch this clip when the boys from Deep Purple Tribute act "Mark III" rips through the title track from DP´s "Burn"-album. Micke Mojo on vocals doing the "Coverdale" -parts! Enjoy and crank it up!
