Mike has been playing the bass guitar for 40 years! My love of music began as a very young boy when I first heard the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. I was hooked right there and then, and began collecting every album and memorabilia I could get my hands on. I knew I was going to be a bass player from that very young age. When most kids or people are hearing the lead guitar and lead vocals I was hearing and following the bass lines and background vocal parts. My brother introduced me to the Rolling Stones a few years later and I had found another favorite band to follow. I soon had all the albums. I have played in a number of mostly classic rock bands throughout the years and in April of 2011 I saw this Rolling Stones tribute band :Gimme Shelter” at a local club called “Jazzbones” and said to myself “How cool would it be to play with this band? About a week later I was asked to be one of their bass players and I’ve never had more fun than playing with this great band!
