MGD64 Post-Race Celebration presents
Microwave Dave & The Nukes
Twenty years of
performances in the U.S and Europe and six albums-with more on the
way-have helped Microwave Dave & The Nukes establish a wide
multinational audience. Venues vary from French soccer stadiums to Bike
Week in Daytona Beach, from blues cruises on the Big Red Boat to
neighborhood saloons, but the thousands of shows delivered by the band
all reflect one core element: the heritage blues music enjoys as a
lifter of spirits. As Microwave Dave puts it: "Blues is America's
first-and still best-self-help program."
While major-label stars gauge success by sales figures and chart
positions, the predominate barometer for traditional blues artists is
simpler: repeat bookings. Microwave Dave & The Nukes' annual
itinerary features music festivals and holiday engagements that have
billed the act for fifteen consecutive years; motorcycle events for more
than a dozen; and a considerable list of major hotels, international
deep water fishing tournaments, schools and social organizations that
re-acquire the group's services year after year. Indeed, it is such
continuous work that led the Alabama Blues Society to present the band
it's Blues Achievement Award in 2001, "for accomplishments in
performing, writing and preserving blues music."
