About Mick Kolassa: “Michissippi Mick” Kolassa currently lives in Michigan, where he was born, but for over 30 years he lived in Mississippi and Memphis, where he was given his nickname. He has played blues in solo and duo acoustic formats and with his bands for years. Mick has performed in legendary blues venues such as Ground Zero, The Rum Boogie Café, Biscuits and Blues, Martha’s Midway Tavern, The Bradfordville Blues Club, Darwin’s, Blind Willie’s, Underground 119, The Capitol Oyster Bar, the National Blues Museum, and many more. He has also performed at multiple blues festivals in North America and Europe.

Each of Mick’s albums has received significant airplay and radio chart positions and they all included different styles of blues. Rather than staying within a single genre of blues, Mick loves and celebrates all styles of blues, and also loves to find the blues hidden in songs of other genres, “bluesifying” songs and doing what he calls “uncovers”. Mick can offer 4 different “flavors” of blues to an audience:

His solo acoustic shows feature Delta and Piedmont blues, as well as some surprise folk blues tune.
With his Endless Blues Band Mick delivers modern Mississippi, Memphis and Chicago Blues, with a taste of Rock
For a different feel, Mick teams up with Memphis guitarist Mario Monterosso Mario to deliver classic “old school” blues with a jazz influence in the styles of T-Bone Walker, Louis Jordan and Lowell Fulson.
Mick also delivers a soulful blues show flavored with a bit of rock by teaming up with Mississippi Bluesman Dexter Allen.
Regardless of the venue and configuration, Mick delivers lively and animated performances, assuring that the fans enjoy themselves as they listen to him playing his Free-Range Blues©.

ABOUT: Eric Deaton is a torch-bearer of the North Mississippi Hill Country Blues tradition, having received an apprenticeship first-hand from the masters of this particularly hypnotic, backwoods strain of blues. With his band, the Eric Deaton Trio, he brings forth influences from his electric juke joint upbringing, interpreted with dashes of psychedelic funk, East Indian sitar drones, and a nod to the blues' West African roots.
Early Years and Influences:

Eric Deaton was born and raised in North Carolina. In 1989, he got his first guitar at age 13 and studied for several years under Carolina guitar guru Audley Freed.

In 1994, Eric moved from North Carolina to Mississippi straight out of high school and entered a higher education program of moonshine-fueled hill country blues at the world-renowned Junior Kimbrough's juke joint in the mid to late '90's, playing bass or guitar with trance-blues masters Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside (and various other members of their extended families).
Touring and Recording Accolades:

Eric first toured the country as a member of the Fat Possum Juke Joint Caravan, backing up T-Model Ford and Paul 'Wine' Jones. In the years since, Eric has toured or recorded with such luminaries as Jimbo Mathus, Afrissippi, Shannon McNally, Alvin "Youngblood" Hart, Reverend John Wilkins, and Dan Auerbach.
