We at TBGOAO receive press packages from up and coming artist throughout the world almost every week so we thought it would be of interest to music lovers to know of other up and coming artist who are making a big impression the other side of the pond!
We’ve always known talent is out there but were truly honoured by the standard of musicians, who approach us, by the site or magazine, and proud to be lending an ear to music lovers who appreciate first class music written, and performed by musicians of the highest calibre.
Starting with an up and coming Rhythm and Blues artist whose mature beyond his years – the sensational Mike Lowry Band – from Atlanta USA. (Jo Rishton)
24 year old Mike Lowry is The Total Package!! A rock solid guitarist, soulful singer and song writer! Mike brings to the stage, years of experience in is high energy shows. His guitar playing and vocals is mature beyond his years. Whilst displaying meticulous technical prowness, his emotions are the backbone of his soulful performances, full of youthful exuberance. This sets him apart from all the rest. Always striving to Be The Best….makes him just that!! His talent has attracted seasoned professionals, allowing Mike to put together a dynamic band, bringing down the house with every performance. The release of his new CD, which is currently receiving airtime, has put him on the road performing throughout the Southeast.
Mike has opened up for James Brown, Levon Helms, Tyrone Davis and has performed on the same music bill with his blues heavyweights such as Jimmy Vaughan, Dr John, Charlie Mussle White, Tinsley Ellis, Skeeter Brandon, Cigar Store Indians, Jimmy Thakery, just to name a few.
Mike started playing the guitar at the age of 11. By age 14 he was performing the Blues scene around Atlanta, being called the “guitar child prodigy.” Self taught, he played the blues right from the heart. His elders would say, “He makes his guitar talk. He has the soul of an old man.” One review read. “I think we have another Derek Trucks on our hands.” Not dead pan like Derek – no grimaces. No rehearsed air-guitar, only impressive lines come out of his guitar. His playing is very natural and fluid; much more blues mainstream, reminding me of a younger Eric Clapton with his phrasing. He plays great bluesy solos – building in intensity and catching fire.” Vincent Tseng.
Mike comes from three generations in The Business. His mother was a professional Broadway/singer/dancer working with all the super stars of her day. Mike has been surrounded by music and performing all his life. Mike is no stranger to a stage, screen, and radio. He had roles in ‘Heat of The Night.’ Starring Caroll O’ Conner and has worked under the direction of John Frankenhimer (the Emmy award-winning movie director) who directed The Bird Man of Alcatraz, Grand Prix, the Manchurian Candidate, Seconds and Andersonville, just to name a few. Mike played the role of a young confederate guard in the TNT, movie Andersonville filmed in GA. Putting acting aside Mike has dedicated himself to his music. Perhaps the discipline of his early career reflects his music career now. Mike is driven and dedicated to produce good music! His audience’s response validates that he is succeeding.
Mike’s most appealing quality is his modest nature. Such a dynamo of musician on stage and so reserved and poised off stage. His talents seem so natural and effortless. Full of assurance, Mike is very confident in the direction he is headed – UP!
