Monster Mike Welch and Mike Ledbetter, Bon Encontre-France, ARSLA benefit, salle Jacques Pevert, 27 april 2018, SM aud master

Mike Welch, guitar man forever with strong Otis Rush influences and Mike Lebetter, 10 stars singer, together as they made their last album !

The evening was designed to collect money for a foundation fighting against what we call "la maladie de Charcot" (Charcot illness) here.

Hats off to both Mike and their band who played for free for this benefit, right in the middle of their european tour, doing hundreds of extra miles to be there.
A strong generosity appeared also in their splendid show, as sensitive than energic.

By chance, to me, the capture does justice to the quality level of the performance.
Recommended for blues guitar lovers !
