The Michael Packer Blues Band - The Michael Packer Blues Band - 2008
A musical prodigy, Michael Packer (Dec. 20, 1950 - May 6, 2017) began playing in top Greenwich Village clubs at age 15. He hung out with artists like Tom Waits and Paul Butterfield. In 1969 at age 19, Packer started the band Papa Nebo; they were signed by label boss Ahmet Ertegun and cut an album for Atlantic Records. After that band broke up, Packer moved to San Francisco where he played in coffeehouses and on the streets; there he met George Thorogood who was doing the same. It was George who turned Michael onto the blues.
Packer moved back to NYC and formed the band Free Beer (so named because it looked inviting on club marquees) with an ex-Nebo bandmate in 1973. They were signed to Buddah and RCA Records and toured the country with band like the Atlanta Rhythm Section, Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show, Quicksilver Messenger Service and zydeco’s Clifton Chenier to name a few.
