MIKE VITALE has spent years entertaining audiences with his eclectic and diverse catalogue of originals and covers. Mike Vitale (guitar and vocals), functions as a solo act, duo, trio, quartet, but can serve as any size band format that is desired by the client and pulls from a large group of the most outstanding musicians in southern California ranging from guitarists, keyboards, drummers, percussionists, to a full horn section. Musicians hired by Mike have performed as touring and studio musicians for notables in the industry that include Dion Warwick, Dave Mason, Chuck Negron (Three Dog Night), Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots), Colbie Caillat, Jason Mraz, Macy Gray, and Chicago.
Mike is very talented and a great performer! Perfect music for the occasion.
I hope to use the service again next year. Next time I would love to have had a speaker outside as well to bring in more of the crowd.
Thank you for celebrating with us on our Anniversary Party!
Response from Mike Vitale:
Thank you for having me Karan; I absolutely will bring a second speaker for outside, next time.
3rd year in a row we've had Mike and his crew headline our annual party. They have a wide array of covers they can do with a little southern rock twang to it or reggae vibe that really keeps people moving. And best of all, some of their original music is just as good. We look forward to having them come out again and again.
Response from Mike Vitale:
Thanks y’all! We love playing music for you and the crew and hope that we have the opportunity to make that four years in a row!
2nd year in a row we've had Mike and his band out for our end of Summer party. The crowd was blown away with their talent at playing some great classic rock cover songs but were equally impressed with some of their original songs. We look forward to having them back next year.
Response from Mike Vitale:
Thank you so very much for having the guys and I back out to play again this year! Y'all are a lot of fun and we look forward to playing again next year Arturo!
Can't recommend them enough. They know how to jam. We look forward to booking them again next year.
Response from Mike Vitale:
Thank you so much for having us last night! We look forward to playing again next year should you be so kind as to have us again!
First time using gigsalad and Mike stood out right from the start as a true professional entertainer. Send his bid and called me a couple of hours later. He has a lot of info available on line compared to other bands, very convenient to easily check the type of music they offer and the sound they have. We met in person as we are locals and briefly discussed the details of the event. He suggested an extra musician (4 instead of 3) and gave some other tips which were all spot on and in the best interest of the final outcome. I sent him a selected list of songs from his play set and that was it. Easy.
The day of the event I left him a voicemail with instructions of how to access the property as I knew I might be busy to pick up the phone. They showed up 10 minutes early, they figured out everything, they started playing right on time and they delivered a great show. You can tell they were all very proficient, solid, clean and versatile musicians, able to adapt to any type of event or audience. We had a mix of concert goers, old school, and not-a-fan-of-live music people, and they all agreed the band tied the party together and everybody had a blast.
Will definitely recommend Mike to anyone wanting to upgrade a party with live music. I felt in good hands at all times and that is priceless.
Price Range: $300 and up
Gig Length: 60 - 240 minutes
Languages: English
Insurance: $1,000,000 - General Liability Insurance
I can provide whatever type of vibe you are looking for, to fill a space. If you need loud and energetic dance vibe, I can make that happen. If you need nearly transparent background music, I can make that happen as well. I perform with some of the best musicians in the business, and together, we are capable and malleable enough to fulfill whatever the needs are of the client.
Furthermore, I have a very open and malleable approach to how the music is being presented in terms of lineup. I am an accomplished performer and entertainer as a solo artist. I have an outstanding acoustic duo act. I also have an energetic or relaxed trio (depending on your preference). I can perform as a quartet and a quintet, and also in larger arrangements that involve horns if given a budget to do so.
If you require a unique vibe for the evening, I am an accomplished singer/songwriter and can provide music that people will only hear from me. My own music is very eclectic and draws from a number of influences that range from Paul Simon to John Mayer to Sting to Ryan Adams to Bob Marley to Buena Vista Social Club. I love music (all music) and my creativity is a reflection of that.
Mike Vitale is an accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist based out of Los Angeles, CA.
Vitale has performed at four star and five star resorts and restaurants all over southern California, in addition to colleges, universities, venues, and theaters, all over the United States. He is as comfortable performing in someone's backyard as he is performing in an established club as Rockwood Music Hall in New York or Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA.
In addition to his own original material, Mike is also capable of performing a wide variety of cover material ranging from Bob Marley to Ryan Adams to The Everly Brothers. He is as inclined to put his own twist on classic songs as he is the reinvent the sound and vibe of a tune, to give it his own unique fingerprint.
This is Negotiable can be discussed as it pertains to your particular event. We are able and willing to provide any size sound system to your requirements.
