About Me |

| Mike "Naz" Nazarenko was born in the Canal Zone of Panama in 1959. His first exposure to the blues came from a family of Chicago natives living across the street whose extensive collection of blues and roots music provided the spark for his career. "Naz" began playing harmonica in the late 70's. His influences include Paul Butterfield, Big Walter, Little Walter, B. Brown, and Magic Dick along with Rod Piazza, William Clarke, and George Smith. He made the decision to devote himself to blues harp full time in 1990 and began touring wth harmonicist B. Brown, who recorded Candied Yams (P Vine) and with John Kilzer (Geffen). In 1992 he formed the band Drivin' B. Brown in tribute to his deceased spiritual and musical mentor. In 1994 Naz moved to Columbia SC to play with Piedmont blues and gospel legend, Drink Small.
