Featuring Mike on guitar:
|
|
Bay Area guitarist Mike is best known for his work as a fingerstyle solo guitarist. By playing two or three parts simultaneously or by suggesting bass lines or chord patterns and allowing the listener’s ear to fill in the gaps, Mike is able to create the illusion of there being much more than just one guitar.
Mike grew up in Berkeley California playing a variety of acoustic styles. He was inspired by Doc Watson and Tony Rice, and for a time became involved in the Bay Area Bluegrass Scene. Mike's versatility let him play almost any music ranging from the 1920s early Jazz through the contemporary pop hits! |
