Mike is well-known at venues across Southern California and beyond for his perceptive, catchy songs that tells stories and highlight the joys and sorrows of living. His warm baritone voice and his solid guitar playing anchor his casual and appealing performance style that draws in an audience and makes them feel like friends.

Mike’s sound takes its inspiration from the music he grew up with -- The Byrds, Jackson Browne, Carole
King, and Bakersfield heroes like Merle Haggard. After many years of part-time dabbling in music, Mike left acareer at a California university to dedicate himself to the craft of songwriting and performing. He prides himself on well-crafted lyrics but he’s not afraid of a groove. Information and videos can be found at his website https://www.mikebermanmusic.com
