The return of Mike Mesaros! 


After 12 years away, Mike returned to play a gig with his old band The Smithereens.  The Smithereens were one of the GREAT bands of the 1980's and 1990's, they have been active as a band for more than 30 years and still have the power to excite an audience.  Mike left in the mid 2000's to "raise his kids"....adding that "it just didn't make sense for me to be going on the road anymore."


Mike plans to play at least four shows with the band this year and there is talk of doing some new recording...possibly for a new album.  (As a Smithereens fan, I hope that is true.)


If you have never listened to the Smithereens, do yourself a favor and download some of their music.  Any of their albums are worthy, but Especially for You, Green Thoughts and Blow Up (my personal favorite) seem to be the stand-outs.  They recorded an excellent version of Tommy, that I still enjoy listening to. 


WELCOME BACK MIKE!!!
