MIKE ZITO is one of the most lauded artists in the contemporary blues arena today and rightfully so, but for him, the thing that counts the most is maintaining his honesty, authenticity and integrity. Naturally, patience and perseverance have been Zito’s stock and trade since the beginning. He began playing guitar at the age of five, and by the time he reached his late teens, he was already a fixture on the local St. Louis music scene. In 2009 he won Song of the Year at the Blues Music Awards and marked his first collaboration with Cyril Neville, with whom he’d later work in the Royal Southern Brotherhood. Since then he has won the 2018 Rock Blues Artist of the Year, the 2019 Blues Rock Album of the year, the 2019 Blues Rock Artist and the 2022 Blues Rock Album of the year. That same year, Zito joined forces with Gulf Coast Records label mate Albert Castiglia and created the Blood Brothers tour!
