Mike was born in Germany and has lived all over the world from Asia to Europe to many states in America. The passion for music hit him at an early age when he got his first guitar at age 8. He was so passionate about learning to play that he drug it behind his bicycle until there was little left that resembled an instrument. A few more years passed and by age 12 he had decided that he really wanted to learn. The Beatles, The Hollies and Jimi Hendrix were early influences. Now after many many years of performing in bands such as The Queens Rogues, The Great Pumpkin Syndicate, The Fables, Saratoga, First Rush, The Joe City Band, Polydor Recording Artist “Starkravin”, and the infamous “Inflatable Dates”, Mike still loves performing and the audience always gets the message.
