Mike spent many years gigging, touring and recording with bands and has now turned his focus to helping local, unsigned bands, local live music venues and festivals and music programs across the U.S.
Mike has a genuine love and appreciation for ORIGINAL music and strives to help and develop bands and venues that produce and promote ORIGINAL rock music and music programs that will bring us future generations of musicians creating original music.
