Released in 2016, Make Blues Not War is Mike Zito’s second album since leaving the mighty Royal Southern Brotherhood and his 13th overall, perhaps his most energetic to date. Modern life moves fast: rolling news, rapid-fire tweets, a relentless barrage of (mis)information. Make Blues Not War demands you sign out, log off and turn yourself over instead to the old fashioned pleasures of great music.
"We hear about everything 24/7 now. The news never stops and it’s all become propaganda. But when you turn off the news and turn on some blues, the world is a beautiful place. I think music is the cure for all ailments. Always has been. Always will be."
- Mike Zito
