“It’s impossible to give Michael B. and the band MOJO enough praise or recognition. When our friends come to town, we always look for where they are performing next. So much talent and energy! No one stays in their chair when Michael B. picks up a Sax. He is more than just the life of the party.” He sings, his dance moves are mesmerizing, his saxes cover 4 octaves. and he’s FUNNY!! An Absolute BLAST of a TOTAL entertainer!
