Mike Zito grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. He decided he wanted to play guitar after receiving a Van Halen record for his 6th birthday. Growing up in St. Louis, Zito was immersed in the raw, gritty sounds of the south side. That would become the foundation of his career in music. At 19, he hit the local St Louis music scene and released his first album "Blue Room" in 1996. He currently is signed as an artist with the Delta Groove label and will release his first album under the new label in May of 2008. Zito currently calls southest Texas his home and tours the midwest area intensely. We're glad to see Mike back in Springfield and hope you made it for a night of rocking blues.
