Michele and the Midnight Blues can be heard on many blues radio stations throughout the U.S.A. and in London, Paris, Dublin, Italy, Denmark, India and soon Argentina. In a few months they went from a local band in the Southeastern US, to a band heard all over the world in part thanks to the 2006 International Blues Challenge and thanks to their 1st commercial CD release "Eyes Set To Midnight". CD’s are selling in Europe and around the states as fan mail arrives. Their song 'Better than I' is getting airplay on rock and adult contemporary stations too. The cross over airplay has been a welcome surprise.Born from weekly blues jams in Wilmington, NC. Actress Michele Seidman followed CFBS jams through multiple locations and venues for a decade, singing in every location. By the year 2000 she felt strong enough to form a band and you guessed it, she found most of the players through blues jams including, Madison Bunting on guitar, Wayne Dean on Bass and Dane Britt or Tony Mallard on drums round out this up and coming band.Michele and the Midnight Blues have been called a vastly talented crew who are the "perfect compliment to their singer and they love to perform". Recently dubbed “Wildly popular in South Eastern, NC”. They have always done a variety of blues styles (Memphis, Chicago, Texas, New Orleans and more) and they take pride in converting people to the genre because of it. They live up to one of their motto's "Blues is more than cry in your beer music" and it is how they do their part to help Keep the Blues Alive.
