Watch and Listen! Mike Zito and FX’s Son’s of Anarchy Tuesday November 13 at 10pm pst 2 time on FX then permanently on FX On Demand.
Mike Zito’s “ROLL ON” from his Delta Groove / Eclecto Groove release GREYHOUND will be featured in this Tuesday’s award winning FX series “Son’s of Anarchy.” The series is about a motor cycle club and has become a cult hit with it’s demographic. Zito’s music is known for honest lyrics and monster guitar tones and is most probable a perfect fit for the series. GREYHOUND was nominated for “Best Blues Rock” CD at the 2012 Blues Music Awards in Memphis last May. Although in England when he heard the news he is reported to be honored and appreciative for the songs placement in the show and looks forward to watching the episode upon his return.

CYRIL NEVILLE, DEVON ALLMAN AND MIKE ZITO JOIN FORCES WITH CHARLIE WOOTON & YONRICO SCOTT TO FORM A RIGHTEOUS REGALITY OF SOUTHERN BLUES-ROCK
Royal Southern Brotherhood unites two legendary roots-rock bloodlines along with a rising star guitarist and an in-the-pocket rhythm section for one of the most highly anticipated albums of the past decade. What started out as a rumor and a few informal local gigs at various New Orleans venues has developed into a full-fledged powerhouse of soulful sound that’s rockin,’ funky and all-together groove-a-licious. Incubated in the heat and humidity of a New Orleans summer in 2010, Cyril, Devon and Mike crossed paths and set in motion the beginnings of what would become Royal Southern Brotherhood, beginning with jams held at a secluded studio in the city’s Garden District. When the musical sparks began to fly and the personal chemistry coalesced, the trio began to explore the real idea of forming a band to bring this new music to life. Their debut show last September at the city’s Rock ‘n’ Bowl tore the roof off the place and launched a horde of YouTube videos that burned across the internet.
