MONSTER MIKE WELCH
_With over 25 years of touring and recording under his belt,
Boston-based blues guitarist Monster Mike Welch is considered a
seasoned veteran of the international blues scene despite his
relatively young age._
_Given the nickname “Monster Mike” by actor/Ghostbuster Dan
Aykroyd at the tender age of 13, Welch has since carved out a niche as
a highly accomplished and in-demand guitarist. To date, Welch has
released six albums under his own name, and in 2001, he joined the
ranks of one of New England’s most beloved blues institutions, Sugar
Ray and the Bluetones, where he stayed until 2017, recording five
albums and racking up multiple Blues Music Award nominations for the
band in that time. In addition, Welch has recorded with Shemekia
Copeland, Ronnie Earl, Danielle Nicole, Duke Robillard, Johnny
Winter, Victor Wainwright, Nick Moss, the Mannish Boys and Sugaray
Rayford, among others. Welch left the Bluetones in 2017 to focus on
his partnership with Mike Ledbetter, which led to seven Blues Music
Award nominations and the formation of the Welch Ledbetter Connection
within the first year. _
_Welch has received three consecutive Blues Music Award nominations by
the Blues Foundation for Instrumentalist-Guitar beginning in 2016, a
Boston Music Award for Best Blues Act, and is an inductee of the Rhode
Island Music Hall Of Fame._
