Blues Blastin’

May 3, 2012

Thanks to all of the kind folks over at Blues Blast Magazine, who took the time to publish some very kind words on the band (not to mention some amazing pictures) from last weekend’s show at the Bikini Blues Bash at Treasure Island, Fla..

“Little Jake Mitchell started out competing as a boy in local Tampa talent shows, winning loaves of Wholesome Bread to help feed the rest of his family,” reviewer Mark Thompson wrote. “He treated the audience to an hour long masters class in old-school soul music, with his dynamic rendition of Don’t Let the Green Grass Fool You being a highlight of the set.”

See you Friday at the Smokehouse in Gainesville, Fla.!
