Mike Whellans

Mike Whellans is a seasoned Scottish blues musician known for his gritty harmonica skills, foot-stomping percussion, and raw vocal delivery that channels the spirit of traditional blues. A multi-instrumental force of nature, he's been electrifying stages since the 1970s with his one-man-band setups and collaborations with acts like Scottish blues-rockers The Blues N'Trouble. His recent tracks like "Shake It" and "Parliamentarian Election Blues" showcase his signature blend of delta blues authenticity and working-class Scottish storytelling, often delivered with a sly wink. Whether hammering out railroad rhythms on his homemade stomp box or serving up wailing harmonica solos, Whellans remains a beloved fixture in the UK blues scene, keeping the genre's fire alive through fiery live performances and releases like 2023's "Fired-Up & Ready."
