Dit jaar neemt hij zijn \u201egitaarbroer\u201c Albert Castiglia mee.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zito (51) komt uit St. Louis, Missouri, maar woont in Nederland, Texas. Hij speelt al gitaar sinds zijn vijfde, maar viel al als tiener op in de muziekscene van zijn geboortestad St. Louis. Hij heeft een lange carri\u00e8re als soloartiest, als lid van de &#8216;supergroep&#8217; Royal Southern Brotherhood (2010-2014) en met Mike Zito &amp; The Wheel. Dit heeft hem een groot aantal prijzen opgeleverd tijdens het jaarlijkse bluesfestival in Memphis, de Blues Music Awards. Zito was productief tijdens de pandemie en bracht in 2020 het album &#8216;Quarantine Blues&#8217; uit. Vorig jaar verscheen het persoonlijke album &#8216;Resurrection&#8217;, geproduceerd door David Z (Prince).       <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zito neemt deze keer een andere gitaarheld en zanger mee naar Longyearbyen: Albert Castiglia (52), geboren in New York en opgegroeid in Miami, Florida \u2013 waar hij op 21-jarige leeftijd werd uitgeroepen tot \u201ede beste bluesgitarist van Zuid-Florida\u201c. Zito produceerde zijn album &#8216;I Got Love&#8217;, dat in maart van dit jaar uitkwam, en rond dezelfde tijd begonnen ze aan wat ze de Blood Brothers Tour noemen. Ze komen elk met hun eigen band, om zich vervolgens te verenigen voor een &#8216;finale&#8217;. Castiglia is ook een Blues Music Award-winnaar in de bluesrockcategorie voor het album &#8216;Masterpiece&#8217;.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e2e2e2;font-size:12px\"><strong>Dark Season Blues\u00a92022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Blood Brothers ft.
