Dosey Doe Coffee House presents Bugs Henderson & Mike Zito: Night of 1000 Texas Guitars.

“Some of the most exciting rock & roll of the era, driven by searing solos that sound like Henderson cutting his way out of a monstrous tangle of guitar strings” Texas Music Magazine

Zito’s influences include Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton & B.B. King. His latest album, Pearl River, has been called “…a rollicking slice of Americana served with heaping slabs of greasy New Orleans funk, gritty blues & good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll.”

Bugs Henderson's music is a mixture of searing blues, jazz ability, swing, funk, and just about everything else that can be played on six strings; Bugs has the ability to give his audience a sense of true musical art, applying enormous control over his tone and coloration.

Bugs has played with guitar icons such as B.B. King, Freddie King, Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent, Roy Buchanan, and James Burton. To this day, Bugs' guitar hangs in Hard Rock Cafe' in Dallas along side instruments donated by Lee Ritenouer and Chet Atkins.

Growing up in St. Louis, Missouri,  Mike Zito (pictured) was immersed in the gritty sounds of the south side that would unknowingly become the groundwork of his future in music. Zito's journey took off at the age of 19, when he busted into the local St. Louis music scene, developing his sound even further from the stage.
