Mike Zito is a highly respected contemporary blues artist known for his honesty, authenticity, and integrity. As he told Vintage Guitar magazine, I have nothing to hide; it seems my honesty is what people relate to most. Zito began playing guitar at five and became a fixture on the St. Louis music scene by his late teens. His perseverance and genuine approach to music have shaped his career, including his work with the supergroup Royal Southern Brotherhood. Zito’s talent is not only in performing but also in producing, having worked with artists like Samantha Fish and Albert Castiglia. American Blues Scene praised him as the 2018 Rock Blues Artist of the Year, while No Depression called his work a first class package with no postage due.
