Mike Bauer Music

Playing in Arizona for the first time, Mike Bauer brings his 9 piece band, the Woodfellas to Cactus Jack's. So far, 2019 has been a busy year for Mike Bauer. Releasing four new singles (Good Things, Sky So Blue, Window Watching, Wild), and two new music videos (Good Things, Window Watching), Bauer and his backing band are turning heads. Recently playing to a sold out crowd at The Troubadour, one of LA's most storied and historic venues, Bauer and his ten-piece ensemble continue to show-off their musicianship and songwriting. Writing mostly with producer, Adam Berg, or, Berg (The Decoders, Maejor), Bauer has a genre-bending style that is all his own and a vocal range to match. Occasionally co-writing with the legendary Richard Rudolph, whose credits include Minnie Riperton, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Stevie Wonder, has only refined that style. "As the band seamlessly transitions genres during their set, it is clear that, individually, each band member is very talented in their own right. When playing together, the band’s synergistic harmonies take on a life of their own, and Mike Bauer is the conductor who brings it all together. From classy funk that makes even the most aloof Angelino want to dance, to soulful R&B that Phil Spector could not have done a better job producing... This is feel-good music done right; the antithesis to mindless radio pop where the only lyrics include a repetitious chorus. Even their moody songs are up-beat, leaving listeners with a lingering satisfaction." - Ryan Stabile, LA Examiner
