Mike played at Buck's Crystal Palace last Saturday night backing Rick Reno Stevens who launched his fabulous new CD on Broken Bow Records. Mike is a terrific player and has a great stage presence. By the way, Buck has lost alot of weight and seems to be re-energized. |

I don't know Mike personally but have admired his playing for many years. He is a top tier pro. In my opinion, his creativity, execution, and tone are in the same category as Buddy Emmons, Paul Franklin, Tommy White, and a selected FEW others. He was seen on several of the earlier TNN music shows ('You Can be a Star' -- possibly others) and was in Bill Anderson's band -- preceeding Donna Hammitt. Last time I saw him play, he was sportin' a 10x10 Emmons and played like buttah. A truly accomplished musician. ------------------ |

Mike used to play for Mel Street in his heyday. I saw him last year playing behind The Geezinslaw Bros. Larry |

I also think he played in the studio for Brad Paisley. Tim |

If his performance on both Paisley cds doesn't get him to the "A" level of studio players there is no justice. He just plays so sweet and hot and tasteful...Pete |

I've known him since he first moved to Nashville (we even baby sat for him some). He's a great guy and a truly hot player. He's been quietly working on lots of masters over the last 10 or so years and folks are now starting to appreciate what he can do. There's a lot more than we've heard so far though. |
