JASON RICCI & NEW BLOOD "ROCKET NUMBER 9" (OCT. 23)
Jason Ricci is that rare individual that only comes along once in a generation – an artist with the unique ability to help shape and redefine the sound of his chosen instrument and forever change the course of music history. His style is varied and his influences far reaching, having spent countless hours absorbing everything from Sun Ra to Little Walter, the Rolling Stones to the Pixies, Lou Reed to Govt. Mule, and everything in between. The depth of his music crisscrosses the audible landscape leaving no stone unturned as he fully explores blues, jazz, funk, rock, punk, and even drawing inspiration from the current crop of jam bands, all while still retaining the stamp of his own inimitable style.
Jason has over 10 years experience living life out on the road, and performs over 300 dates a year. New Blood’s live shows have quickly attained legendary cult status with archived performances surpassing downloads on the Internet by popular acts such as the Grateful Dead and Phish. In 2005, the Mercury News even listed the band in their Top Ten Shows of the Year alongside major touring artists including Prince, Rush and Green Day.
Through hard work and dedication Jason Ricci & New Blood have built a solid fan base from the ground up, selling over 12,000 copies of their self produced/released CD “Blood on the Road,” and all without the help of record labels, national distributors, or publicists. Together with guitarist Shawn Starsky, who brings with him an arsenal of creative talent and fresh ideas, and Grammy Award winning producer John Porter at the helm, Jason Ricci & New Blood have created a visionary and sonically explosive masterpiece that is sure to shake your foundations.
“As a lover of live music, a JRNB show is absolutely exhilarating. Imagine the best virtuoso-filled "jam band" you've ever seen (think early '90's Phish, old Fleck tones, Allmans, Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks, etc.) and then double the energy and stage presence.”
- Blake Taylor (Writer for Cincinnati City Beat)
"Ricci links the jazz mastery of Howard Levy, with the blues precision of Jerry Portnoyand hits speeds that make John Popper look like he's standing still."
- Brad Kava (Mercury News)

This month Mike Zito will officially begin recording tracks for his Eclecto Groove Records debut. Zito will enter the studio on October 13th with a production team that includes acclaimed producer David Z (production credits include albums by Prince, Buddy Guy, Ana Popovic, Jonny Lang and Etta James), Phantom Blues Band alumni Tony Braunagel (produced Eric Burdon’s most recent CD “Soul of a Man”) and Delta Groove Music, Inc. & Eclecto Groove Records CEO Randy Chortkoff. The project will feature Zito’s triple threat abilities - powerfully original songwriting, warm and expressive vocals and his intense solo guitar work. Worldwide release is planned for early 2008 and Zito will be out in full force to support his new record “Today” thanks to his recent signing to Intrepid Artists talent booking agency. The invasion is about to begin…
Mike Zito has recently signed on to join Ana Popovic and the cast of the upcoming Big Sky Motion Pictures release “Spring Break ’83.” Zito will be offering up his talents during one of the many planned musical interludes paying tribute to the classic musical stylings of the early ‘80’s. The coming of age teen comedy written by Mars Callahan and directed by Scott Spiegal will star Ryan Pinkston, Andrew Caldwell, Matthew Lillard, Robert Davi, and Richard Portnow with more actors to be announced shortly. The film is currently in pre-production and plans to begin shooting this Fall in New Orleans, LA.
