Haven been singing since 1958 and still going strong...Band/artist history
The year was 1958 and a few young teenagers in the city of Bielefeld/Germany decided to imitate their idols Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran, Ray Charles and Buddy Holly (and let's not forget Elvis). There was no one to copy in Germany, so they had no other choice but to interpret their own style. In 1960 "Mike Warner and the Echolettes" became professionals and began to tour the German Rock and Twist-Clubs (yes, that's what they were actually called back then..). Soon they had made a name for themselves as the Top Rock and Twist-Club band, earning them recognition also in England. In 1963 Mike left for England and appeared as the first German Rocksinger in the clubs of London. Arming himself with a young guitarist by the name of Albert Lee (today a grammy winner and called the world leading country-rock picker) and super-drummer Barry Jenkins (later of Nashville Teens and Animals fame) , the three went to Germany to start the best "German" Rockband of their time. The legendary StarClub's all over Germany saw Mike's band the same way all the other top joints of that time, including the US-Clubs for the GIs in southern Germany. Together with his good friend King Size Taylor (top singer of the Liverpool scene and Guru of the famous Beat band "The Beatles") Mike recorded the Kult Album Mike Warner and His New Stars on the Ariola label in 1965. His latest album called Naked Selzer shows that Mike can still do it with the best.
Featured guitarist on some tracks is no other than Mr. Albert Lee himself...
NOW
after 20 years, Mike has returned from California and Arizona to Germany and appears back on stage with great musicians of the legendary German Rock-scene of the 60's plus Liverpools guitar legend Barry Baz Davies. These days he sings what he still can sing best: R&B, Blues, Country Blues, and of course real good old Rock 'n' Roll. By today the German press calls him the German JJ Cale, which suits him just fine.Have you performed in front of an audience?All over Europe
