One listen to Michael Locke and you’ll realize that you’re hearing not just another extraordinarily talented guitarist you’re hearing a channel for all the soulful blues artists who have made their mark on music history. Not only does he honor their memory but he does so with his own unique style, soul and powerful tone. Michael has devoted his playing to honor the contributions of the great influential bluesmen Albert King, Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan, T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Freddie King, Lightnin’ Hopkins and BB King. The band continues to tour the U.S. to help get the word out that the Blues are alive and well and as soul-shakin’ as ever! Check them out and feel the experience for yourself!

Birthday Tour & Gilly’s Show

Posted by Michael Locke

Hi Repeat Offenders Everywhere,

I want to thank everyone for helping me celebrate my 100th Birthday on the road. The Band & I had a real Blast!

Theres so many people to thank, Im sure I’ll miss someone.

First of all , I would like to thank Tommy Castro & his band for always being so kind & supportive. They had me up at the Slippery Noodle on my birthday. Thanks Becky ,for the pictures. Next we played in Hollywood FL at The Flickerlite. There were almost 200 people there! No way I could thank everyone. But, Doug & Penny brought out the most friends. I think it was 24!! Off to Berts Bar & Grill in Matlacha, FL (one of my all time favorite places to play. I met my wife Kay there).Back in the Van, and drive like hell to do a radio show in Atlanta, GA at WRFG with A.J. & Blackjack. They are the best. Thanks guys! Hung out in GA to hear Damon Fowler. Great Player. Thanks for all the advice. Finally the last show at Zuffy’s Place in Atlanta. What a great bunch of friends.I cant wait to get back to all of the venues. I would also like to thank all the musicians that helped me out both here and on the road. Luke Piro, James Higgins, Stan Waldman, Steve Keith, Da’Rosa Richardson, Tom Rastikis, Ron Appleberry, & Reece Lincoln. Last but not least , my wife Kay & our family.  PS- Thanks so much for everyone sending e mails, pictures, buying CDs etc… & Dana & Lisa,Mel, Jeff & Sharon, Johnny Danko & my new sis Sue for putting us up when we needed to eat & sleep! We Love You All!

On Aug 1st we will be doing a show at Gilly’s in Dayton, Ohio with Noah Wotherspoon. This is going to be a lot of fun. I hope all of my Ohio friends can see this show. Lets see if we can beat the Hollywood FL turnout?

Hi Repeat Offenders everywhere,

It’s been a little while since the last up date, so just catching up with everyone!

First , I’d like to thank everyone for their support, as we won the Centerville Blues contest. LOL (personally, I think the other two bands were better) 

Also, we passed the 5 year mark hosting the Blues Jam  at the Oregon Express. Thanks, all you blues jammers out there. We had a blast at BB Kings, as well as the Slippery Noodle, and we played two new clubs. The first was in Pomeroy, OH called The Court Street Grill. It was a great club we would love to go back to. Second was the Springs, in Springboro, OH also, a lot of fun. We will be back there several times this month. (check the schedule)

We have also been doing some writing for the next CD. I’m hoping to release it late next year.

We have new products ie Bumper Stickers, as well as CD download cards whick you can only get at the live shows!

Here is a pic of the Newest Repeat Offender!
