Kevin Cook - Drums
Mike McCourt began playing the guitar at age eight after hearing Jimi Hendrix on the AM radio. He got his first electric guitar and amplifier on his twelfth birthday and has been asked to “turn it down” ever since. He started a duo with a middle school classmate who played drums and began playing small gigs at school and at parties. That duo grew into NY-based rock band “Concealed Damage” that played around the Long Island area over the next 8 years. Mike’s true passion has always been the music of the great blues guitar players and singers. Since the early 1990s Mike has played and recorded as a sideman with many groups on guitar, ukulele, and bass. In 2003 Mike cut “July Songs”, an album of seven instrumental songs representing seven very different musical influences. Mike relocated to Seattle, WA from Honolulu, HI in 2012 and has been having a great time playing with some of Seattle’s great blues musicians.
