About
Mike Bourne has been knocking audiences out around the globe with his unique style of jump blues, blues and
roots music in clubs like the House of Blues, Hard Rock Cafe, Buddy Guys Legends and Festivals including the Roots and Blues Festival, the International Jazz and Blues festival in Manila, and the Coleman Hawkins Blues Festival. He's recorded and played with legends including Otis Rush, Sam Lay (Muddy Waters and Bob Dylan's drummer), BarrelHouse Chuck,and many more. With long stints in Chicago, Atlanta and Kansas City, now he's headed back home to the windy city. Mike has joined forces with young saxophone ace Dougan Smith, longtime KC bassist Cardy Quintero, piano man Jimmy Beisman and veteran drummer Bryan Herrman -- and their high energy show already has the town buzzing with TWO NUMBER ONE SINGLES ON THE USA ROOTS AND BLUES CHARTS in 2023 and a TOP 5 ALBLUM. Already booked for festivals in Manila, and Route 66 Tour this fall -- the Mike Bourne band is spreading the blues tradition started in Kansas City by Joe Turner and Jay McShann -- but with new songs and new grooves. Book the Mike Bourne Band for your club or event -- and expect a professional, punctual band that can get the crowd going and whether it's thousands or an intimate setting that requires very low volumes. The new record on Blind Raccoon and Blue Heart records CRUISIN KANSAS CITY IS A SMASH HIT ON THE CHARTS Big Joe is smiling. #
