I am a singer/songwriter. I play electric and acoustic guitar and sing. I will provide quality entertainment for most occasions including weddings, parties, corporate meetings etc...I always maintain a professional appearance and demeanor. The music I play is a variety of my original music and popular Country, Easy Listening, Rock, Jazz and Blues. I can even learn songs I don't normally do if you contact me with enough time. If you need a full band I can provide that as well.
Good communicator, fulfilled all requirements of the events

Thanks for the positive review! It was great singing for y'all. See you again.
I've booked Mike for a private party event. We were super impressed. Great voice and distinctive guitar style. In addition to that, Mike is an excellent entertainer. A true class act!
I highly recommend him for your event.

I have professional equipment, which I will set up quietly before the event starts. I always set up my equipment so that it does not interfere with the main part of the event. I may or may not set up lighting depending on the venue. I always dress properly for the occasion.
I have been playing music since about age 9 when I started my formal training in violin. I started learning to play guitar at age 10 and I've made guitar as my main instrument. At age 14 I joined my first "band" as a bass player. During high school, I was a member of the school choir for three years. I was 18 years old when I began playing in clubs for money. That is when my professional career started. I attended the University of Texas Pan American in Edinburg, Tx for two years where I received more music training and was also a member of their Jazz and Concert bands. At age 21 I traveled to Hollywood, California and attended the Guitar Institute of Technology. I lived there for a year before moving back to Texas. Over the past 24 years I have played in several bands and have played several types of music such as; Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz, Tejano and Solo Acoustic. I currently live in the Corpus Christi area (Aransas Pass, TX) where I am a member of the John Eric Band (Texas Country). I'm a member of Los Chililunatix acoustic band in which we play private engagements. I also play solo acoustic singer/songwriter gigs on my own or with another musician.I continue to study my instrument(s) and enjoy every minute of it. I am happy to be able to provide you with quality music for your event. Thanks for visiting my site.
I require that the power source be no more than 25 feet from the performance area and I will need to set up my equipment with enough time to allow 30 minutes between finishing the set up and the beginning of the performance. If a guest would like to sing a song I must be contacted no less than one week before the event and no more than three songs, please. I do not allow spontaneous "sit-ins" or "karaoke" time. Any arrangements are made between myself and the contracting party. If there is an event planner involved, I will work with them the best I can but I answer only to the person(s) that hire me. I also require payment to be made to me in cash before I start. I do not accept personal checks.
