About this concert

Tickets & Info - www.tenbyblues.co.uk - - - "Michael Messer & Chaz Jankel have created an exhilarating album that bears comparison with the finest work in either of their garlanded careers." "The quality of the playing is exceptional – they are both masters at their crafts – and the end result is an album of many highs and no lows. The music just flows easily." - musicnewsweb "Easy, flowing currents of melody tumble through ‘Mostly We Drive’ from gifted songwriting duo Michael Messer and Chaz Jankel. Throughout the song, the rhythms of resonator guitar and the sumptuous, slipping, sliding notes are absolutely gorgeous from two great artists who combine many years of songwriting experience and precision playing to create a fresh, new bluesy sound. Michael Messer’s thoughtful lyrics are striking: “One day we die, the rest we’re alive,” and all the songs from the duo will have you seeking adventure and life" - Andrew Frolish - AmericanaUK "Michael Messer & Chaz Jankel have brought us a wonderful folky acoustic rock track that carries an impeccable groove and swings to it with his latest offering “Mostly We Drive”. You can’t help but nod your head and sway to the beat of this track as its tempo and rhythm are classic folk country rock. The vocal performance is grounded and full of expression leading to an infectious literning experience that makes you feel like you can’t get enough of this track. I loved listening to “Mostly We Drive” and so will you, so go check it out and add it to your playlists today!" - Lost In the Manor "The varied, mesmerising rhythms of the music are matched by verses which obviously borrow a poetic ethos and world-worn approach from the likes of JJ Cale, Bob Dylan and blues masters past" - East Portland Blog Brothers of the Blues - Artist Of The Week Blues Broadcasters Association - Album Of The Month Blues Passion Radio - Best New Album

Michael Messer Biography

Michael Messer is a virtuoso slide guitarist, singer, songwriter & roots & blues innovator. Throughout his forty year career his music has remained individual & contemporary. Michael Messer's reputation as an innovator of the blues and master of slide guitar is well known.

Being British with an international reputation for blues slide guitar is a rarity in itself, but Messer's obsessive appetite for knowledge of his art is virtually unrivalled. His stunning slide guitar playing and superb vocals ooze authenticity & integrity. His use of turntables in the Second Mind Band marked him as one of the trailblazers of the noughties blues sound & his trio, Michael Messer's Mitra, has once again broken new ground with an exhilarating & accessible fusion of rural blues & Indian music. Their highly acclaimed album, Call Of The Blues, was iTunes No1 blues album & has won them worldwide acclaim.

Johnny Cash was a fan of Michael Messer's music & wrote the liner notes for his 1993 album Rhythm Oil, a rare honour shared only with Bob Dylan. Messer's King Guitar album reached number one in the US Living Blues chart. Second Mind won Best International Guitar Album of the Year. The American magazine 'Spirit' listed Messer as one of the greatest slide guitarists ever, alongside Duane Allman & Ry Cooder.

Michael Messer's latest project is an album he recorded with renowned songwriter-musician, Chaz Jankel. The album Mostly We Drive released January 2024.
