Michael Dotson plays high energy Chicago style house rockin’ music, a rootsy and raw blend of shuffles and boogies underpinned by tradition, and loaded with fire eating guitar. His latest release “A fork in the road” (late 2010) is a traditional solo effort … a man wearing a hat, sitting in a chair, playing guitar and singing the blues. It features original songs with a tendency toward boogies. His first release “Lightnin’ in my pocket” (2006) was a blues sampler of original songs spanning the genres of primitive swing, swamp, and traditional blues with an energetic guitar laden delivery.
Born on the South Side of Chicago, he learned the guitar after seeing Muddy Waters on stage. Michael was Aron Burton's guitarist for four years then became that of Magic Slim for six years. Beyond those long collaborations, Michael also plays with Big Time Sarah, Grana Louise, Mississippi Heat, Big Jack Johnson, Jimmy Burns among others. An excellent studio guitarist, he also shows in this first album his qualities as a singer and composer on tracks like "Lightnin' in my pocket", "Narin' a drop", "Grampa blues", "Blues so bad".
