What Others Are Saying

 What do you get when you have someone, (Mike) who started out promoting concerts in their late teens, managing bands, then playing in bands for 30+ years and then being inducted in The International Blues Hall of Fame as a Great Blues Artist from the state of Kansas with their first album? Well, this is what others are saying

Mike you are a lyrical genius! …. Got goose bumps all over from that love song, (Wings of Eagles.) - David Gray, Blues Artist

Your lyrics are so straight forward and honest, straight from the heart, … Cuts right to the bone. Into the Fire is going to be a big hit, has a deep "hook" having me wanting more of it - Steve Morse

You're a great artist, this has such a deep honest projection of emotions, most artists can't reach that far. - Steve Morse

I recently had the pleasure of listening to the new release by Pastor Mike and the Demon Slayer Blues Band. From the very first song to the last note of the very last song it is filled with feeling and raw emotion. My favorite songs on this CD are Trail of Tears and the final song Country Nights which is a fun country tune. There is everything from Country to Blues to songs that have a good Old Timey feel. This is certain to become a regular in my rotation of music. Look forward to hearing more. - Bruce Fry, Blues Hall of Fame Member from Pennsylvania
