Our
Music
When you listen to Captain Mike & the
Sea Kings, you won't hear any "oh, I'm sooo sad" kind of Blues, we
don't play any "crying myself to sleep every night 'cause i shot my baby
& now I'm in this rotten jail" blues, nor do we play the infamous "I
stay drunk all the time & can't get out of the gutter" blues.... We
have always suspected that our audience wants to have fun when they go out at
night and have tailored our repertoire and lyrics to that fact.
Our music is geared towards an adult audience who likes to party, dance and
enjoy a couple of cocktails while having a good time.
Some of the main influences of our style of Blues are undeniably the Howlin'
Wolf/Hubert Sumlin team. Howlin' Wolf's big voice was the one calling out to
Mike from his records to start singing the Blues. Another major influence can
be heard in Cpt. Mike's slide guitar style, which is at times reminiscent of
Hound Dog Taylor's screaming sound. Mix into this some John Lee Hooker, Little
Walter, Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal and a just a touch of ZZ Top, and the result
will be something like what we do.
