"Mikey Jr. and the Stone
Cold Blues -- remember that name -- laid down some serious,
tough, old-fashioned blues last night at the Thunderbird
Cafe. A lot of young bluesmen just pay tribute to the music
-- Mikey Jr. has become the music he loves."

Mikey Junior is exactly what blues needs today — talented,
engaging and young.
He bridges the gap between generations of music lovers
and makes it cool to love something old-school. At the same
time, he has gained the respectability of his blues peers
and contemporaries, by staying true to the genre — all
the while, remaining true to Mikey Junior, as well.”
