Mickey Rogers and the Soul Master Band

Mickey Rogers and the Soul Master Band will be performing at the B.B. King Homecoming Festival.  Mickey Rogers is one of Mississippi’s “real deal” blues musicians.  He was born in Panther Burn in 1944.  His family moved to Chicago when Mickey was young; however, he spent his summers returning to the delta.  As a teenager Mickey began playing in bars in Chicago.  He has performed with Howlin’ Wolf, Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Temptations, the Chi-Lites, Tyrone Davis, and Bobby Rush.

 

Mickey and his band won the 4^th MS Delta Regional Blues Challenge at Club Ebony in November of 2007.  In January 2008 Mickey Rogers and the Soul Master Band represented the Mississippi Delta Blues Society of Indianola at the 24^th International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN.
