Live Music Michael Scott

Michael (Mike) was born in Seattle and has lived in the area most of his life.  After discovering a love for music as a boy he tried out a ukulele as a first instrument. He was influenced by many bands during the ‘60s and ‘70s. Mike became a fan of rock, country, folk, pop and blues music and has been influenced by many artists.  He started taking guitar lessons in his teenage years.  While in high school and college he played and sang with several bands that he formed with friends. Along the way he gained experience singing and playing acoustic, electric, and bass guitar and has written and recorded some original songs.  Playing for live audiences started in high school and evolved into opportunities to play with several bands around the Puget Sound area over the years. After playing mostly in classic rock cover bands he has more recently been performing as a solo act, singing and playing acoustic guitar at small venues. He is a big Neil Young fan and enjoys playing his music in addition to covering songs by a variety of other artists. When playing he often will include a few Neil Young songs as well as doing some original tunes. Music is part of our culture; it brings people together and is a great form of expression and celebration. Live music always goes well with good people, food, wine, beer or spirits.
