Mike first picked up the guitar at
age 7. His earliest influences
included the music of Led
Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rush,
Judas Priest, and Ted Nugent.
Since Mike left his home state of
NJ, he has lived in Tulsa, Los
Angeles, and finally Western PA,
learning from other musicians and
playing in bands in each location.
After moving to PA, Mike played in
popular local rock acts Night
Breed and TKO, where he was
able to apply his talents for
writing original music, Blues,
Classic rock, Hard rock, metal,
and alternative were Mike's main
styles before forming the country
act Whiskey Grin with Chuck
Belczyk in 2004. Mike played
with WG until the act disbanded in
2010, after which he played in the
rock act Echobox. Once again,
Mike is back on the Country
scene with Chuck in Southern
Detour.
Offstage, Mike enjoys riding his
Harley, songwriting, hanging out
with his family and friends,
watching the NY Giants, and
having a cold Yuengling!
Mike plays Yuengling soaked
Gibson Les Pauls, Fender Strats,
and a variety of guitars through
Mesa, Marshall, and Line 6 gear.
