Mick Radford

Biography

Recording artist/actor Mick Radford is the founder of two international performing and recording groups Louie and the Rockets and The Unholy Rollers who, back in the day, were largely responsible for resurrecting 1950s music and many of its fabulous artists. Mick Radford and Louie and the Rockets appeared in the American International motion picture "The Unholy Rollers" and recorded the entire soundtrack for the movie under the direction and production of songwriting team Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, who wrote many hit songs for The Monkees and many other recording artists.

The film "The Unholy Rollers" starred actress and Playboy Playmate Claudia Jennings and was edited by Martin Scorsese with executive producer Roger Corman. The movie Unholy Rollers is available on Amazon Prime. Mick Radford has appeared on numerous television, radio, and trade shows all over the United States, Europe, the UK, and Canada including the Jerry Lewis "March of Dimes Telethon", "The Tony Visco Show", and even something as obscure as the Chuck Barris "Dating Game" show in Hollywood California. In addition, Mick Radford has had the privilege of recording with or sharing the stage with many of the world's top stars, including: Chuck Berry, Albert Collins, John Mayall, Savoy Brown, The Ventures, Steven Seagal, Maria Muldaur, Fever Tree, The Knickerbockers, actress/singer Anna Maria Alberghetti, The Breakers, Ocean, Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids (the film "American Graffiti"), and many other North American Rock n' Roll, Blues, and 1950's artists.

In 2019 Mick’s song “Shadowcaster”, written for the Ventures, was used in the documentary about the Ventures “Stars On Guitars” which won “Best Documentary” at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. The movie “Stars On Guitars” is currently available on Amazon Prime.

Mick's unique vocal style is a strong compliment to his early influences which are unmistakably rooted in Gospel, Blues, and R&B and gives credit to such greats as Ray Charles, Lou Rawls, Wilson Pickett, Marvin Gaye, Bill Medley, Roy Orbison, and others. Mick's guitar style, on the other hand is an amalgamation of early Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, James Burton, and the Ventures, among others. Mick’s versatility as a singer-guitarslinger-writer-producer-actor has earned him credits in a wide variety projects over the years but he is still a Bluesman at the core with a substantial underground following.
