Guitar Mikey, a.k.a. Mike McMillan, is a Hamilton guy who was wowing them from an early age. He went to a Muddy Waters concert at age 11, and when his dad came to pick him up afterward, Mikey was back stage, talking to the great man himself. He has been playing in working bands since age 12. Guitar Mikey helped form the Steel City Blues Band in 1980, and that year it won first place, in a field of 50 bands, at the UNICEF telethon. Shortly after, the band would welcome new member King Biscuit Boy, no less. In the '90s Mikey moved to the U.S. and has lived in Chicago, New England and now Clarksdale, Miss.
