Artist description Curly "No Shoes" Jr., A.K.A. Mark Muehlberg began his Blues career in the early 1990's by joining the extensive Blues Jam community in Dallas, Texas, lead by the infamous Bluesman and virtuoso Blues guitarist "Hash Brown", who later became one of Curly’s best friends and mentors in the Blues. Curly was then introduced to the Ex World Champion Wrestler and well known Blues promoter Arman Hussein (one of the original organizers of the now world famous Mississippi Blues Festival). Arman introduced Curly to a number of Blues and R&B Legends even arranging for him to sing with artists such as "Lucky" Peterson, Joe Jonas, R.L. Griffin, Texas Slim and Greg Smith, just to name a few. Curly was also fortunate enough to become close friends with and companion, chauffeur to the legendary Sam Myers (8-time recipient of the W.C Handy Blues Award) Curly moved to Denver, Colorado in 1999 and formed a group called "Curly 'No Shoes' Jr. and the Ricky Earle Blues Review", featuring former Little Milton guitarist Ricky Earle. Curly has now founded, together with the strong guitar of Gabe Masry, a group called "Curly 'No Shoes' Jr. and The Bigfeet Blues Band". This group performs an extremely strong style of down home Texas blues featuring "Sleepy" Joe Parker on the bass, Josh Kyser at the drums and Toby Hopper on the sax. Their new single (includes 3 tunes) entitled "Wanna Be A Better Man" is now available.
