R.J. (Robert) Mischo began singing and playing harmonica in the Minneapolis area in the late '70s. He played with the blues heavyweights of that area and timeframe such as <a href="spotify:artist:4y6J8jwRAwO4dssiSmN91R">Muddy Waters</a> sideman <a href="spotify:artist:42PrYHSnbkJNdsXMJhwcng">Mojo Buford</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:55t0X0xyUoNn42xoZOEELO">Percy Strother</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6ZJIOqyFemqeuIuqvF1kdS">Milwaukee Slim</a>. R.J. also fronted several of his own bands, including Blues Deluxe and R.J. & Kid Morgan Blues Band (which featured guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:2JZSVgCSD6OJrfey6lggwU">Teddy Morgan</a> and singer <a href="spotify:artist:55t0X0xyUoNn42xoZOEELO">Percy Strother</a>). His 1992 album with that band, Ready to Go, won praises far and near and still has an unmatched magic about it. Mischo was nominated for several Minnesota Music Academy Awards while in Minneapolis, and in 1996, he won the award for Best Harmonica Player. In 1994 he released Gonna Rock Tonight. After a few tours of Europe, he re-formed the band and called it R.J. Mischo and His Red Hot Blues Band. Rough and Tough and Cool Disposition were recorded before Mischo departed for San Francisco in 1998. He recorded West Wind Blowin' there the following year. He and his band make regular appearances in the bay area and also tour the U.S. and Europe. ~ Ann Wickstrom, Rovi
