About

Mike is an entertainer from New Bern, NC playing a combination of classic rock, folk, and his original songs.  He has an engaging sound combining the best of folk, country, rock, plus a few originals. From an easy-going soundtrack as a backdrop for socializing, to turning up the energy when people feel like partying, he is always in tune with the character of your venue and the desires his audience. His original songs are inspired by loving and living on the water. He also draws inspiration from daily life in New Bern, and from the people that come and go.

One of Mike’s favorite pastimes is sailing. He had a beautiful 23 foot ComPac Dawntreader, named after the ship in CS Lewis’s Narnia series (but has recently downsized to a ComPac 16, Serenity). His two girls–Jenny and Liz–along with his wife Ann have spent many nights aboard Dawntreader, weathering nor’easters, enjoying idyllic sunny days…and everything in between. Sailing and music were a large part of the girl’s experience growing up…and both girls have fond memories of their trips.  Another one of his passions is retreating to the “off the grid” log cabin that he built.

Currently, Mike lives with Ann (his wife of 48 years), in New Bern, NC.  Mike has retired from his day job as a clinical psychologist and is now a musician .

Using his own songs, in addition to 70’s rock and folk, Mike tailors the song set to the venue and audience.
