Mike Law & the Playboys founding members Mike Law and Carl Ricci started the band in 2002. Begun as merely a side project for both, after their first show they realized they had something special. Fast forward to now and Mike Law & the Playboys are well known in the northeastern blues scene, paying their dues and laying down the ‘Law’ with their unique brand of Deep Blues.
Finding American roots rock, rhythm and blues for the first time, Mike was won over. The soul, the passion and the strength of the music had made him realize what his true love in life was. His musical influences include the likes of Johnny Guitar Watson, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Wynonie Harris, T Bone Walker, Gene Vincent and the Blasters.
With the stamp of approval from many local and national acts, Mike Law & the Playboys have not only entertained crowds throughout New England but have also gained the respect of their peers in the music industry.
