Mike Chudnick

Mike has been listening to and playing the blues since he was first introduced to them in high school. His early exposure to guitar/harmonica combos such as The Nighthawks and The Fabulous Thunderbirds led to an exploration of those band's roots. That path led back through the early Chicago electric artists and from there down to the acoustic blues of the South. Shortly after moving to Rochester in the late 80's he hooked up with Luca Foresta to form Redline, which entertained blues fans across Western New York for many years. After a 10 year absence from the music scene, he recently rejoined Foresta as a member of The Electrokings.
