Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia are true “Blood Brothers” in life and in the music they create both individually and collectively, joining forces in a collaborative effort of songwriting and  performances to create a total listening experience greater than the sum of its parts. Added to that process are the talents of  producers Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith, who brought fresh  ideas to the recording sessions, pushing Mike and Albert creatively and musically to present their best work to date.

“Mike and Albert have a special chemistry together when they plug in and play that few have. They finish each other’s  sentences musically,” award-winning guitarist Joe Bonamassa said about the sessions. “Great tunes, great people, great hang! What’s not to like? It was an honor to be involved in this project.”

“Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia have done something special,” added co-producer Josh Smith. “They have both found their  musical confidante. Most solo artists never even look – let alone  find – theirs. They have brought together a real ‘band’ using  members of each’s solo acts. The sum of all these parts added  with a tremendous effort to both write and perform the strongest record of their respective careers has paid off in a special album. Blood Brothers indeed! Joe and I are proud that these brothers trusted our partnership to produce this special album!”

Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia will be hitting the road again in support of the new Blood Brothers album.

They will bring  together their two powerhouse bands, featuring
Matt Johnson: drums
Ephraim Lowell: drums
Doug Byrkit: bass
Lewis Stephens: piano/organ

Both Mike and Albert will be onstage performing together for the entire show, so fans can enjoy the  amazing chemistry and creativity that these two musicians share  with each other – and the audience. In addition to their own  rock, blues and roots individual tunes, the set will feature a number of songs from the Blood Brothers album.
