“We had the pleasure of having Mike play for our wedding ceremony on the beach and cocktail hour at a nearby house. We actually enjoyed the ambiance so much we extended our time with him through our dinner, which he was happy to do. Highly recommend booking him for your next event!” - Carly Contract 8/26/24 “Exceptional performance by Mike. His country and bluegrass tunes were soothing and engaging.
