MICKEY ROGERS AND THE SOUL MASTER BAND
Mickey Rogers is one of Mississippis real deal blues musicians. He has traveled throughout the United States and to Holland, Belgium, Australia and New Zealand performing. When Mickey was a teenager he was playing in bars in Chicago. He played with Howling Wolf when he was fifteen at Sylvias Lounge in Chicago. He was so young that Howling Wolf would hide Mickey behind the Amps so the police wouldnt catch him performing underage.
During Mickeys career he has played with artists like The Jackson 5, The Dramatics, Gladys Knight & The Pips, the Temptations, Chi-Lites, Tyrone Davis and Bobby Rush. He has played with Howling Wolf, Hubert Sumlin, Harold Burrage, Otis Clay, and Jimmi Hendrix and many more.
Mickey was about 19 or 20 when he played with Jimmi Hendrix. Mickey says Me and him got hooked up together because I was playing with the Chi-lites. He stayed around Washington. We ran into each other and traded licks, you know. Stuff like that.
