However, Mike Sanchez fought against the tide, and continues to do so to this day. It started with a few borrowed 45s, then came the quiff and some knockout threads. He entered through the darkened doors of roots and blues music and spread light so that a whole new generation could enjoy its celestial message. His charismatic stage presence was a train that stomped along the tracks, and the great and the good were happy to get on board that blues express running from Chicago to the West Coast. Musical titans have always been happy to give him the keys to their kingdom, and the freedom of their stage. Bill Wyman, Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood, Jeff Beck and Robert Plant listened to him, loved him, feted him and above all applauded him. Mike Sanchez will always be an iconic figure forever cast in the melting pot of roots and blues. To the authenticity of the past he gives a new energy as he rocks his piano into dust. The artist remains true to his soul, continually foregoing the painting by numbers of corporate control in favour of the freedom to splash his palette across the eager canvas of rock'n'roll.
