Northwest Park Cofffehouse Concert
|  | |
The Northwest Park Coffeehouse Concert Series will begin its 15th season with Blues performer Mike Zito in concert on Saturday, November 21 at 7:30 pm at the Northwest Park Nature Center in Windsor.
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Mike Zito grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and now calls Southeast Texas his home. Growing up in St. Louis, Zito was immersed in the gritty sounds of the south side that would become the groundwork of his future in music. Music coursed through his veins from the early age of five, when he began singing and performing. It didn't take long for him to discover his instrument of choice - electric guitar - after receiving a Van Halen record for his birthday. His education and journey were just starting - little did he know he would find himself among legendary musicians at a local guitar shop just out of high school. 'Everyone from Chuck Berry to Bennie Smith came in that store,' Zito shares of his experience. 'I soaked up the sounds of that store and began building my own style.'
Mike Zito boasts a road-hardened voice that spews the fiery tales of life's ups and downs with a serious conviction that's impossible to ignore. Although Zito's songs are clearly rooted in the blues, there's elements of other styles as well. It's blues, it's country, and it's rock 'n' roll all rolled up in one . . . it's American music.
The Northwest Park Nature Center is a smoke free, handicap accessible facility located in Windsor, Connecticut. For ticket information and reservations go on line at www.northwestpark.org or call the nature center at 860-285-1886. Proceeds will benefit environmental studies at the Park.
