Mike & Friends

*June is obviously not winter, but this is the rescheduled January 20th show 🙂 Door 7pm / Show 8pm w/ special guests: Tony and the Gyspy $15 ADV / $20 DOS Madison guitarist Mike Scieszinski and his party band Mike & Friends return to The Bur Oak in early winter of 2024. The band will play a three week weekly residency on consecutive Saturday nights in January. Each week’s concert will be themed, not unlike the inaugural residency this past year that was such a big hit with the east side. This year, the spotlight is turned on Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Guns n’ Roses; with each artist getting a night of the residency dedicated to their brilliant music. Of course they will be augmented with a hefty helping of vintage Grateful Dead, but the band will attempt to prove that they can play “More than Dead”! Mike & Friends plays mostly popular music, but does throw out an original or two now and again; and will be doing so at these shows. They are known for playing The Grateful Dead, and bringing an eclectic mix of music and musicians together at each gig. Mike is also the front man of the popular Madison based Phish tribute act PHUN and plays a number of solo shows each year.
