Band Bio - Band Bio
As three-time International Blues Challenge semi-finalists, Mike Westcott’s Blues On Board continue to explore and expand the boundaries of the hard-driving blues rock tradition. These 2005 Washington Area Music Association’s “Best Blues Band” nominees enjoy a well-deserved reputation for consistently delivering powerful, memorable live performances - whether for 50 patrons in an intimate venue or for 350,000 raucous festival-goers. Mike’s expert songwriting, soulful voice and virtuoso guitar work remain the trademark of this rising force in the east-coast music scene. While unafraid to display the influence of those guitar greats that have gone before him, Mike Westcott’s music has something original to say, and this band does so with a style and energy that is distinctly their own. In addition to Mike, the band includes Waverly Milor on harmonica and vocals, Gene Monroe on bass and Dave “Papa Funk” Westcott on drums.
