\"BigBig Mic’s presents Johnny Boy Kunk\u00a0<\/b>in a special Friday night blues show on August 16. Mike Larson, of Big Mic’s, said \u201cJohnny Kunk <\/span>came into Big Mic’s one night and told me he was a Mississippi muddy blues artist. I said to him, pick a guitar and show me what you got bro. He sat out front on the bench in front of Big Mic’s and I watched him play that guitar like it was part of his anatomy. You could almost see the Blues running through his veins. His sound is in a class of its own. I’ve got 42 years in the business of listening to artists do their thing and they have been few and far between when you stumble on this kind of talent. I told Johnny Boy he is the real deal and I’ve been a fan ever since.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Big Mic’s in Kuna has been a focal point for many types of live music for quite a while now, but blues is at their hear of the performances there. Mike added, \u201c<\/span><\/span>It’s All About The Music\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/span>is Big Mic’s Original Slogan or corner stone that we built around. The Music is what excites people. It’s music that brings people and communities together. My wife Marisol and I built Big Mic’s as a Music Venue for original artists to debut their sound in front of the community; hopefully as a tool for their advancement in their music.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
