Enter to WIN tickets to Mike Zito and the Wheel on March 31st at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que!

Blues Music award winner Mike Zito is one of those rare artists who can sing like nobody’s business, pen songs that instantly grip you, play a mean Gulf Coast style guitar, and has the stage presence to draw in his audience to boot. Zito will be upstairs at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que on March 31 for a very special fundraiser for the NY State Blues Festival. Want to go?

Head over to our Facebook page HERE to enter our contest for a FREE pair of tickets to the show. We’ll be announcing this year’s line up for the festival and raffling off a pair of festival VIP tickets too, so you don’t want to miss this one. The winner will be announced on March 25.

Good luck!
