Malden —
In 2010, Monster Mike Welch is 30 years old — but back in 1981, he was 11 when he took the Boston Blues community by storm. And don’t think there isn’t a backlash against youngsters attempting to take a stage that journeymen spend a lifetime working to conquer. Especially when playing in a genre like the blues. What 11-year-old is worried about covering the electric bill, the rent, the gas, the car insurance?
That said, with Malden’s stars Preacher Jack, Norman Greenbaum, Charlie Farren and Gary Cherone all well established, there is room in the Malden pantheon for the next generation of artists to make their mark. In the year 2010 there is more technology available for singers/musicians to establish themselves at an early age. Which brings us to possibly Malden’s youngest name artist... - Malden Observer
