Mike Blanchard and The Whispering Chingaderos are a group of seasoned pros based around the singing and songwriting of Mike Blanchard. Mike has a uniquely strong and beautiful voice that is the centerpiece of the band. The band does up to five sets of originals as well as traditional country, folk, bluegrass, Mexican and Western chestnuts. The sound revolves around the vocal harmonies of Mike, Laurieanne and David Van Dusen.
Mike has been the singer/rhythm guitarist in the legendary Sacramento band The Tattooed Love Dogs for over twenty years. The Dogs have played all over the west coast from Seattle to San Diego and out to Texas to play South by South West. With the Dogs Mike has won four Sammies (Sacramento Area Music Awards) for best rock band and best country band and is in the Sammie Hall of Fame.
The Whispering Chingaderos was formed two years ago after Mike recorded a solo record titled, amazingly enough, MIKE BLANCHARD AND THE WHISPERING CHINGADEROS. The response to the CD was so favorable that the band was assembled and has spent the last two years poundin’ the trail between San Francisco and Reno with regular stops in Nevada City, Placerville and Auburn as well as Sacramento.
