Micke Bjorklof is, without a doubt, one of the best multi-instrumentalist blues musicians in Europe. The Finnish singer, guitarist and harmonica master has been active in international blues circles for three decades and has opened shows for B.B. King, Robert Plant, Bill Wyman, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and many others. A proven and versatile entertainer, Bjorklof takes the listener on a fascinating blues journey from New Orleans to Chicago and deep into the heart of the Mississippi Delta.
