Belvidere, NJ - Chicago Blues musician Mike Gallemore signs
management agreement with MoPromo Mgmt Co to continues onto the next level with
his music career as a solo artist and leader of the New Jersey Funk Rock Blues
band The Bad Hands.
Mike Gallemore grew up a stone's throw from the Blues
Capital of The World, Chicago, Illinois. He began playing music in the night
clubs on the South Side of town and his native Northwest Indiana, as a
teenager. As a well known veteran songwriter and musician of the Chicago Blues
scene he has worked, played and traveled with many blues artist including: The
Kinsey Report, Carl Weathersby, Billy Branch, The Sons of the Blues, Sam
Cockrell and the Groove, The Lonnie Brooks Blues Band, Ronnie Baker Brooks,
Biscuit Miller, Shirley King (daughter of BB), Jimmy Johnson, The Legendary Sam
Lay, Floyd Miles of the Gregg Allman Band, Buddy Miles of The Band of Gypsies.
He has also fronted his own band "Red Hot and Blue" which frequently
headlined Chicago Blues clubs such as Buddy Guy's Legends and Koko Taylor's on
West Division. Gallemore's passion is music, his life and the reason he gets
out of bed.
He found himself blessed to be a musician, as it's the
greatest way to meet beautiful people and share his art. He strongly believes
it has to grow or the art will die and we will just be repeating what's been
done before like a Karaoke singer.
Mike first solo effort entitled "Music Man" was
released in the late 90's with rave reviews. He continued to appear with many
other artists as a guest on recordings or as a supporting member of their road
bands.
In 2003 Mike relocated to the East Coast, where he continued
with this Blues music in established blues circles in the tri-state area.
Recently he formed a new band called The Bad Hands of New
Jersey. The Bad Hands are a high energy Funk Rock Blues band that pushes the
limits of the Blues towards Funk. They are quickly making a name for themselves
at popular festivals and venues on the East Coast. In the summer The Bad Hands soft released
their self titled first EP and are now working hard on a full album release for
2014.
The Bad Hands are not your average Blues band; just like
Muddy Waters who took the music he heard in the Mississippi Delta, electrified
it and played it harder and past the point he found it, the band approach is
the same. The Bad Hands are not trying to label their music, they will leave
that up to the people who hear them, but no matter what label they give them,
it all comes from the Blues.
On October 8, 2013 Mike Gallemore's solo album "Music
Man" was re-released as a digital download only on Gypsy Music
Records. Online stores like iTunes,
Amazon, CDbaby all feature "Music Man" under their Blues genre.
