Thank you so much, Matt! It was a pleasure meeting you and your team.
Mike came to sing and play the song that my Dad always said he wanted played at his funeral. Thank you Mike, for a BEAUTIFUL end to a very difficult day. It could not have been better. ♥️

Thank you so much, Reed! It was a pleasure working with you.
Mike played at an oyster roast I hosted in my backyard. He was the perfect fit to complete the ambiance. He was professional and brought everything he needed for a seemless set up. I would definitely recommend Mike for a gathering.

Thank you so much, Matt! It was a pleasure to play for you all.
I hired Mike to surprise my wife with a 25th Anniversary gift of a few requested songs that were very meaningful to us. Mike learned the songs and delivered with his awesome voice and guitar playing with a private performance in our hotel room. He was on time, professional, and just a real nice guy. I could not have picked a better musician, and would highly recommend him. My wife and I will forever remember his performance as the highlight of our visit to Nashville.

Thank you so much Dan—It was such a pleasure meeting you both! I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in music city!
Mike was great to work with right from the start. I hired him for my proposal to my girlfriend at Arrington Vineyards. Communication with him was great and he showed up and played exactly when I needed him and it was perfect. You rock Mike! Thanks again man!

Had Mike play for us at a sailing regatta event. He absolutely killed it. Everyone commented on his performance and great song selection. Will have him back.

Thanks so much, Clinton! I had a great time too.
We hired Mike to help us celebrate a big birthday while staying at an Airbnb. He was very easy to coordinate with, tailored the set list to our preferences and was a great performer! We loved the way his voice complemented multiple genres and artists. He truly seemed to enjoy performing even for our small group. If we're in the area again would seek him out for similar services or to hear his original work as well. Thanks Mike!

Thank you so much, Rachel! Had a blast spending time with you guys. Safe travels!
We hired Mike for a party of literary types. Rather than cover songs we wanted to hear originals from an up and coming talent, someone we could say we heard first. Mike was recommended to us by an established Nashville name. We were delighted. His songs are deep and thoughtful. They brought out emotions. We laughed, we cried. This guy is going to make the big time. Book him while you can.
