ARTIST SHOWCASE PERFORMER SPOTLIGHTS!

⭐️ MICK KOLASSA ⭐️
Mick Kolassa is a lifelong musician and hardcore blues addict. He recently moved back to Three Rivers after spending 35 years in Mississippi and Memphis, learning and performing the blues while teaching at the University of Mississippi. Rather than staying within a single genre of blues, Mick loves and celebrates all styles of blues, so he calls his style “Free Range Blues.”
Whether it is a Delta Blues song from the 1930s, Piedmont Blues, Chicago Blues, Memphis style Soul Blues, slick city blues or cool country blues, Mick loves and plays them all. He also loves to find the blues hidden in songs of other genres, “bluesifying” songs and doing what he calls “uncovers.”
Mick has released 15 blues albums and has performed in many legendary blues venues throughout the world as well as at multiple blues festivals in North America and Europe. He delivers lively and animated performances, assuring that the fans enjoy themselves as they listen to him playing his Free-Range Blues©.

⭐️ ZACH "LUCKY" FULTZ ⭐️
Zach, born November 22, 1996 in Three Rivers, got into music at the age of 12. He started by teaching himself how to play the acoustic guitar, and branched out to learning piano, ukulele, banjo and harmonica. Zach fell in love with hip-hop as well, the album that made him love hip-hop as a child was “Be” by Common. His music genres fluctuate between Rap and Urban Folk depending on his mood.
This will be his second time performing at the Watershed Voice showcase after releasing his debut album Riverside Drive in February of this year.
