Mike was the star of the show for our fundraiser event. He’s an excellent musician and extremely personable. We would 100% hire him again and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Mike!!

Mike did everything he could to accommodate my wishes. I wanted a French theme and he did some research and found a lot of music and even adapted his equipment for the lay out of the various rooms where our function was being held. He is great
One Man Band
We had Mike play my 40th bday party on NYE for upwards of 75 guests. From the start he was easy to work with, communicating regularly and making sure we had everything under control for the evening. He played nearly 4 hours of music and everyone loved it! We would definitely hire Mike again!

What to Expect
My audiences will see music tailored to the event. If I start playing during a dinner, or more subdued reception, I will lay back, with more "chill" material and lower volume. Depending on the event, I will ramp up as the guests get more comfortable, all the way to full on dance mode. Or I can come out swinging from song #1!
I know how to "read the room" and pivot as needed, and am very flexible with announcements, changes etc. The client will let me know - engage with the crowd, or be "sonic wallpaper." Either way is great for me!
The volume will be perfect - engaging but never too loud. I have 100% control over my audio.
About
I'll work backwards!
The favorite part of my musical career is what I'm doing now: an engaging solo looping performance that "sounds like the record." I have curated an amazing mix of classic rock, R&B, Top 40, blues and more, songs you will know and love. I "loop" all the parts live in each performance: vocals, keys, guitars, bass, with killer drum tracks. Nothing is pre-recorded, it's organic and very fun to watch. I have super-high quality sound, at the perfect volume, in stereo (bands can't do that!). Played with SOUL. I love what I do. I've had great success playing all over North Georgia for private parties, frats, corporate events and non-profits. My reviews are top-ranked on Thumbtack.
Prior to that, I played for 20 years in a top 7-piece cover band at top Atlanta venues, including performances with Chuck Leavell (Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers) and Francine Reed (Lyle Lovett). I've also had radio airplay on all top ATL stations (originals, and a Braves novelty song). My original material is on iTunes, and has been highly ranked on many music sites. I played throughout the southeast during my college years, and in bars all around Orlando during high school (can't do that anymore!).
Additional Booking Notes
I bring the appropriate amount of gear for each gig, including my own PA and lighting, unless the venue provides that. Even with the full rig, I can fit within 10x10 ft, with 1 electrical outlet.
