During April and May, Brno's Metro Music Bar will host several exceptional names from the world scene - British soul singer Mica Millar, guitar legend Neil Zaza and charismatic rocker Marco Mendoza, who has played with Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy and The Dead Daisies.
The main star of the April programme will undoubtedly be Mica Millar, one of the brightest new faces of British soul. Her velvety voice, strong songwriting and personal expression have made her debut album Heaven Knows one of the best British soul albums of recent years. "A star with intense emotional sincerity is born." writes Blues & Soul Magazine about the album. Mica was declared Soul Act of the Year (Jazz FM Awards 2022), and critics at the BBC have called her "a contemporary Amy Winehouse with 70s soul". The Brno gig will be her first ever appearance in the Czech Republic - making it all the more of a special and unmissable opportunity for fans. Her Brno performance is announced for 10 April 2025 at the Metro Music Bar.
Six days later (16 April), Neil Zaza, an American guitar virtuoso renowned for combining rock energy, classical technique and strong melodies, will be performing on the same stage. His instrumental work, unafraid of emotion or explosive energy, has earned him international respect among fans and players alike. Zaza is also known for his famous "One Silent Night" Christmas shows, where he combines rock arrangements with a symphony orchestra - but he'll be bringing the best of his pure guitar world to Brno.
May's musical line-up will feature Montana Stomp (May 31), a Spanish formation that brings a raw blues-rock sound with a distinctly Southern twist. Their music combines predatory guitar riffs, authentic rock roots and a passion that can be felt in every note. Montana Stomp promises an authentic concert show packed with raw energy and genuine musical passion.
The highlight of the spring season, however, comes on 14 May, which will see Marco Mendoza and his band arrive in Brno. The bassist, singer and showman, who's played with some true legends of the world rock scene, is renowned for his charismatic stage energy. In addition to Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy, Mendoza, who has also worked with acts such as Blue Murder, Ted Nugent and solo tours with John Sykes, has been building a strong presence as a solo artist in recent years. His concerts are an explosion of raw rock'n'roll energy, Latin passion and musical virtuosity. In addition to his music career, Marco is known for being open about his personal life, including overcoming addictions, which inspires many fans. Opening the evening will be the explosive support act Lord Bishop Rocks, dubbed "the loudest band in the world" who mix rock, funk and blues with a punk drive.
