Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels hail from Detroit Michigan since 1964. By late 1966 the band had exploded over the airwaves with “Good Golly Miss Molly,” and “Devil With The Blue Dress On.” This year marks the 50th anniversary of Duke Tumatoe. Duke came directly from being a founding member along with Neal Doughty and Alan Gratzer of REO Speedwagon who was in those days a soul inspired Chicago based rock band. More information about the bands can be found at www.mitchryder.net and www.duketumatoe.com.
