Album: Bluesmen Don't Use Umbrellas Michigan Curve are a tight, hard working, Blues outfit whose members are dedicated to delivering a powerful punch. M.C. lay it down heavy, righteous and with blue collar backgrounds are reflected in the bands authoritative style be it with hooky riffs, tuff solos or uptown grooves. The barking slide and growling vocals of Mike Nicolson, the band’s front man, give the band it’s bite. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he is highly influenced by that, as well as Chicago blues and the formative “country” greats. He began playing the guitar shortly after the invention of the wheel. After settling in Canada Mike began a lengthy search for the right people and “The Curve” was born. The heart of the band is Bassist Mr. Clements and Drummer Ken Doskotch. Mr. Clements provides the powerful bottom end along with his arranging and composition talents. Ken, his long term musical partner delivers dynamism and drive with a “rocky” edge. Mr. Clements and Ken have played together in a big number of local bands which makes Ken’s recent comment that he believes in this one, kinda significant. Andre (The Professor) Kaufmann on lead guitar and sax completes the machine. Dynamic and arresting sounds flow out of him which complement the band’s philosophy of “be real and a bit different”. Although a committed blues guy, he can rock, shuffle or funk it up with style and authority. While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and the band does pay homage to their heroes, it’s not enough for an outfit who want to bring something personal to the party. Michigan Curve’s original material is a varied, mature and danceable spin on what it means to have the blues in the twenty first century. With their understanding of each others styles and strengths, their focus on giving their customers a big night, you should check them out, you won’t be sorry!
