FROM MICK...

Remember those lazy summer days, driving with the window down, the AM radio playing one great song after another? Those are the songs I love to play live! I curate my set lists to be event-specific, and I play everything from laid back acoustic covers, to full one man band events. Come join me for some nostalgia!

Shows

I play many types of events, from quiet acoustic background music to the melodic 70s-80s hits that make you want to get up and dance. 

Check out the schedule of events below, as well as my sample Song List, and I hope to see you at some of our world-class venues here in the South Okanagan!
