Mikey Junior and the Stone Cold Blues

Keepin' the BLUES alive!!!

About Me

.. width="425" height="350" .. 26 year old Trenton, NJ native Mikey Junior is one of the most genuine people I've ever met!!! The day I met him I started chatting about the blues with him and in the few years since I've learned so much from him about the history of this great music!!! Mikey has invited me to travel with him to Memphis for the IBC the last two years (he competed in the challenge in '05...though it wasn't about the competition to him...he was there to have a great time and meet other blues musicians from around the world), and taken me to many gigs around the Philly/Trenton area and Baltimore, MD...and for that I thank him lots!!! Over the last couple years he's really been diggin' the chromatic harp and he sure shines on it on his new album!!! Mikey loves a lotta things in life, here are some of those things: Fine dining and good times; Listening to the Blues; Harmonicas, Harmonicas & more Harmonicas; Entertaining people; Heineken; Whiskey By The Glass; Late night diner grub; Family; Friends; His cats; Bandmates; and his wonderful girl Kate!!! Thanx and much love, Bubbles (Unpoppable Productions)!!!To Order Mikey's new cd, Look Inside My Pocket, e-mail Mikey directly at: [email protected]!!! Same goes for if you have any personal messages for Mikey 'cause he checks his e-mail regularly, whereas this crazy guy named Bubbles runs his myspace profile!!!TQ Show 11-1-06:TQ Holiday '06 Show:Elaine n Mikey Jr's Birthday Party 7-28-07!!!
