Mike Lenz is based in the Akron, Ohio area and performs solo on guitar, vocals, harmonica or kazoo, and stompbox. Winner of the Marietta, Ohio based BJFM 2005 Blues Challenge, he is influenced by everything from delta and piedmont blues artists such as Robert Johnson, Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Blake and Tommy Johnson to Jug Band stomps and rags of the 20’s and 30’s to classic 50’s and 60’s electric Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, and Howlin’ Wolf to the juke joint boogies of Hound Dog Taylor and modern North Mississippi blues. His live show includes his originals, classic blues and tastes of just about every genre of American roots music.
Misery JackalsEmerging out of the rural smoky hollers and urban ghetto dive bars alike are a rag tag bunch of pirates, punk rockers and hillbillies. They call themselves "The Misery Jackals" because that is what they eat. Their songs cover the wide range spectrum of misery, suffering and depravity as a lesson to you, or perhaps a foretelling of your life to come. The choice is yours really.

Mugshot may have very well accomplished what all bands hope to accomplish. They have created a genre of their own. Most of their closer followers call it "Cave Rock", due to the "Uga Uga" mood that it delivers.
