BIG MIKE AGUIRRE IS A SOULFUL ST. LOUIS-BASED VOCALIST/GUITARIST, WITH 20 YEARS OF SEASONING AS A FULL-TIME MUSICIAN AND BANDLEADER IN THE ST. LOUIS ROOTS, RHYTHM & BLUES SCENE—AND AN UNEXPECTED FIVE-YEAR SOJOURN LIVING ON SEVERAL WEST INDIES ISLANDS, COURTESY OF THE COVID-19 EPIDEMIC. NOT BAD FOR PACKING FOR 5 DAYS…
BIG MIKE RETURNED TO THE USA ON MAY 1, 2025, EAGER TO SHARE HIS EXPERIENCE, PERSPECTIVE AND LOVE OF MUSIC, NOW THAT GETTING TOGETHER IS A LITTLE EASIER.
BIG MIKE’S DEBUT STUDIO ALBUM “MISSISSIPPI STEW” WAS RELEASED DIGITALLY IN 2021. IT IS A LOVE-LETTER TO MAKING MUSIC AND MEMORIES IN ST. LOUIS FROM 2000-2020. INDEPENDENTLY RECORDED AND PRODUCED WITH AN OUTSTANDING ARRAY OF ST. LOUIS MUSICIANS; BRISTLING WITH RED HOT HORNS, INFERNAL HAMMOND B3, AND CLASSIC ENSEMBLE INTERPLAY, IT IS A RECORD ANY ARTIST WOULD BE PROUD TO MAKE, AND I AM EXCEEDINGLY GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE WHO INSPIRED AND SUPPORTED ME IN MY MUSICAL ENDEAVORS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. TAKE A LISTEN AND ENJOY!
