with Grammy Nominated/Multiple Blues Music Awards Nominee, Anthony Geraci
He may be one of the most lauded artists in the contemporary blues arena today, and rightfully so, but for Mike Zito, the thing that counts the most is maintaining his honesty, authenticity and integrity. Those are the qualities that have steered Zito’s career since the beginning and continue to define every effort he’s offered since.
“I have nothing to hide; it seems my honesty is what people relate to most,” he once told Vintage Guitar magazine. “Anders (Osborne) told me early on, ‘If you don’t believe what you’re singing, you’ll never be a good singer.’ I try not to write fluff; I try to make every word count.”
That point became convincingly clear with his last record 2018’s First Class Life, a collection of songs that detailed his journey from addiction to sobriety and the subsequent success he achieved through his award-winning body of work. A multiple award winner and nominee, Zito has built his career on an ability to tap into tradition while maintaining contemporary credence all at the same time.
Anthony Geraci has a long History in the American Blues Community. He is an original member of Sugar Ray and the Bluetones, and Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters-he has recorded with both Artists extensively. Anthony’s recent releaseWhy Did You Have To Go (Shining Stone) received 2019 Blues Music Award Nominations from the Blues Foundation in the following categories: Song of the Year “Angelina, Angelina”, Album of the Year, Traditional Album of the Year, As well as individual nominations for the Pinetop Perkins Piano Award (4th consecutive year) Traditional Blues Male Artists, and Band of the Year-Anthony Geraci and the Boston Blues All-Stars.
