With words that don’t hold back and with his heart on his sleeve, Mike paints a vivid picture of life and the world around us, transporting you from a seat in the audience, to a special place in your memories and your heart. 2024 brought Mike invitations to play his songs at folk clubs, festivals, civic events, house concerts and no less than four songwriters showcases around Alberta.
