Danny Banks & Monster Mike Welch Allstar Band January 14, 2011

The dynamic duo of Monster Mike Welch and Danny Banks tear it up at Smoke Joe’s. Mike burst onto the Blues scene at the age of thirteen, when he was publicly given the nickname “Monster Mike” by Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd at the opening of the first House of Blues club. Recent years have found Mike dividing his time between guest stints (on CDs by Sugar Ray and the Bluetones, Nick Moss, Johnny Winter and more. Teen drum prodigy, Danny Banks, has “ that mojo and it certainly is working”. Banks dazzled a national audience on David Letterman’s ``Late Show,’’ and he’s been busy ever since, playing with music luminaries such as Rick Russell Band, Duke Robillard, James Montgomery, Bruce Bears, and many others.
