Mission of Blues (Band)

Overview Mission Of Blues was formed in 1995 by Jim Schultz (Drummer), Steve Todesco (guitarist/vocals), George Dennis (guitarist/vocals), John Moriconi (Trumpet and Lead Vocals), Paul Spagnolia (Bass Player). The band got together in the basement of Jim Schultz and played their first date in January of 1996 at the Ranch House in Marshfield, MA. M.O.B. created their debut CD in 1999 after 6 Months of on and off recording at Sherwood Forest Recording Studios in Bedford MA, with the help of Lee (Doc) Brown engineering and co-producing the CD. Once released the drummer, Jim Schultz decided to leave the band. He was eventually replaced by Steve Wolpe. Mission of Blues had been playing around the Massachusetts South Shore/Metro Boston areas for quite some time and were eventually asked to participate in the Boston Blues Challenge sponsored by the Boston Blues Society. Mission of Blues came in first place in the Boston challenge and went down to Memphis, TN to participate in the finals for the International Blues Challenge (IBC). Jim Schultz came back to the band for the Memphis leg of the IBC.
