Mike's Biography
Mike

So here we go.............it all started with an electric warrior! I'm talking about T-rex, whom my dad says was my favorite band at the tender age of one!!!!!!

Progressing on to Led Zep, the Stones, the Who and some great american blues music, I had a great base of knowledge in music by age 12,which is when i started fiddling with the old mans beat up hollowbody electric! 1983 ,wow, quite a time to be a young rock and roller! Motley, Ratt, Dokken, Maiden, Priest, Ac/Dc, VanHalen and all the other 80s metal influences that inspired me to get serious about learning my instrument of choice were huge then.

During that time i had also discovered one of the greatest guitarists ever, Stevie Ray Vaughn,a great talent and greater loss! Combining my love of classic rockers, 80s shredders and blues greats, i hope i have developed my own still evolving style! With a definite nod to the old school and one eye on the future i hope my new place in the 'circle' will bring some inspiring rock and roll moments to everyone who listens. Cheers to my band mates for having me on board!

A special thanks to my Dad for the great music and the belief in my ability, and my Mom for my first real guitar and not making me cut my hair, even though you hated it! Finally to my wife and kids, Natalie, Siobhan, Paige and Danika, thanks for putting up with my long hours and loud music, I love you guys!!!!! Peace, Love and Loud Music, 'Feds'.
