“BEST BLUES ARTIST 2011 Mike De Velta has beaten the boards everywhere in 2011 and has also released his much aniticipated, “Whiskey in The Morning” to national acclaim. Appearances and supports, radio interviews and non stop performance in a fashion that is truly recongized among his peers as ‘the right stuff’, it is our pleasure to honour the bluesman, Mike De Velta. With the most frequently played tracks on Global Thunda Network’s Australian Independent Radio, we are proud to announce Mike De Velta/ Best Blues Artist 2011”

— Global Thunda Network, Best Blues Artist 2011

“Congratulations !! You have excelled with your latest cd and it’s certainly one that will get plenty of spins on “Play The Blues” over the next few months. The songs burst from the speakers with such “live” vitality, I can almost envisage you being right there in front of me !!”

— Derek Cromb, Twin Cities FM

“Mike De Velta opened proceedings tonight with a rousing solo set of rootsy blues punctuated by his raw and emotive vocals, acoustic and steel guitars, mouth harp and bare feet bashing away on a stomp box. Endearing and warm, he got the crowd going and dancers on the floor from the start. (KEVIN BORICH EXPRESS With The Graham Greene Band & Mike De Velta) ”

— Shane Pinnegar, The Rock Pit Review

“Love this guys music.. attention fans of Kim Churchill and James Glendenning and Stewart Reade Wauchop better have a listen too, would love him to do an East coast tour with Thredbo in mind.. Another West Ozzy with a great rootsy blues sound”

— Rod Niemeier , facebook
