Most people in Northern California and beyond probably know Mick Martin as
the host/producer of “The Blues Party” on Capradio for over 32 years and as the
leader of Mick Martin & the Blues Rockers for over 40 years. An
award-winning harmonica player and singer-songwriter, his accomplishments
include over 20 CDs (four in Europe), recording the CD “Sum Serious Blues” with
jazz organist Jimmy Smith and performing with him, Jimmy Witherspoon, Jon
Faddis and other greats at Carnegie Hall’s “Blues in Jazz” event in 1994 and
topping his 15-year association with guitar innovator Harvey Mandel (Canned
Heat, the Chicago Blues Reunion) at West-Fest, the 40th anniversary of
Woodstock. Mick has backed up Mick Taylor, Freddie King, Bo Diddley, Tommy
Castro, Elvin Bishop, Ronnie Montrose, Jimmy Rogers and many others in concert.
For Mick Martin’s Big Band, he has assembled a group of accomplished musicians
with pedigrees as impressive as his own: Danny Sandoval (saxophone), Andrew
Clayton Little (guitar), Mike Caselli (organ/piano), Aj Joyce (bass), David D.
Johnson (trumpet/trombone) and Jim Caselli (drums). All of these men have
played and recorded with a list of world-famous artists that can be considered
the Who’s Who of the music business. According to Mick, “This is my dream band;
a group of gifted musicians I have long admired and never thought I would be
able to assemble into a band. And, man, do we have a great time when we play.”
And so does the audience.

“Spoiler alert: it’s the horns. After decades of harp, guitar, bass and
drums and sometimes organ and sax, Mick Martin’s band has become the Big Blues
Band with horns, and it’s a rocking swaggering good time!” – Mike Farrace

“Great band, songs, killer musicians. David Johnson (trumpet) and Danny
Sandoval (sax) are monsters! Pinkie Rideau has a voice bigger than life, and
she knows how to use it. Andrew Little (guitar) has an excellent feel for how
much or how little should be in each and every solo he does. Jim Caselli
(drums) and AJ Joyce (bass) are an amazing tight rhythm section. Mike Caselli
tickles the ivories in various styles that keep each tune fresh. Mick has a
voice that seamlessly fits a variety of tempos, emotions, and styles. Love it!”
– Rick Snyder, Sacramento Blues Society Blue Notes

“There are harmonica players who play music and musicians who play
harmonica. Mick is in the latter category.” – Bill Champlin (Chicago, Sons of
Champlin)

The award winning historic Sutter Creek Theatre is an intimate 215 seat
former silent film theatre with superb sound. Voted Best Indie Theatre multiple
