Topic: Monster Mike Welch
I first heard of this guy in 99' Saw him a few years ago at a festival with Sugar Ray Norcia and the Blutones. Was impressed even though his style is more old school. Saw him again last night with Sugar Ray. Thought I'd post their itinerary in case you might live close enough to catch them this summer. Mike is worth the effort.
