There was talk of holding Shoe Suede Blues over for another night but that won’t be happening this tour but we hope to bring him back for another show at another time - everyone had a super great time - they put on a extraordinary show that even had a few old Monkee tunes in there for sing-alongs which the entire audience did help out with! Thanks to the entire band for such a GREAT nite!!

************************

Peter Tork is a former member of the world-famous 1960s pop group, The Monkees. He plays a myriad of instruments, including the 5-string banjo, piano/keyboard, drums, guitar, and bass. Peter realized a real love affair with the blues sometime during the 1990’s. The result of that love is called Shoe Suede Blues. The band delivers a heartfelt, soulful, uplifting and quite unforgettable mixture, divined from their vision of what music is all about. Peter Tork and Shoe Suede Blues…witness that the heart and soul of music lives. Peter plays guitar / keys and sings lead and backup for Shoe.

Arnold Jacks, is a much sought after and well respected side man who can hold down a bass line with the best in the business. AJ joined Shoe Suede Blues in the winter of 2006 and hit the ground running. He is simply one of the most phenomenal bass players around.

John Palmer has recorded and toured with Rockabilly legend Ronnie Dawson, appearing with Dawson on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. He has also performed with such artists as The 5th Dimension, The Diamonds, The Penguins, and Sha Na Na. John is one of the premiere Rockabilly drummers performing today.

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of guitarist Richard Mikuls.

January 25, 1952 - June 9, 2008

Our thoughts and prayers are with his familly, band mates, and friends, and hope that in time they will find comfort in the special memories he left behind in both his music and his life.

Richard Mikuls had shared the stage and the recording studio with such legendary artists as Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, BB King, Ike and Tina Turner, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and The Pointer Sisters. Richard had also produced music for TV shows and movies such as Ellen, Home Improvement, Unhappily Ever After, Boy Meets World, Doctor Detroit, The Last Dance, as well as TV commercials for Paul Mitchell, Coors Beer, Isuzu, and Honda - Acura. Richard played guitar and sang lead / back up vocals for Shoe Suede Blues.

Another guitarist will be joining the Shoe Suede Blues for the continuation of the tour.

It was our great pleasure to bring Roger “Hurricane” Wilson to Toledo, he always puts on a dynamite show! He’s also an all around nice guy! The storm rolled in from Atlanta, Sat.
