I'll be starting my Wednesday nights at Cosmo's in March. This will be year "5" for Mike e Live! I'm so happy to be a part of the Cosmo team. Brian and Jodi have built up a very fine establishment, all done with lots of hard work and dedication to the guests. Great managers, great bartenders, great servers and GREAT music! Stop by any Wednesday I promise you a good time!
It's great to be rockin' at Behind the Pines. I love Fort Morganer's. This is the Wednesday night HAP on the Peninsula! Nice clean place with home cooked food and killer cocktails.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. Screw the Mayan's....2012 is gonna be the BEST ever! I've got some great new venues to rock, and will be expanding my area into Mobile/Mississippi Coast this season. I'll be releasing a new CD project this summer also. Thanks to all my fellow rockers and music loving friends for letting me do what I love so much. We are gonna have some good times in 2012!
Heading over the bridge to Unique Cafe in Gulf Breeze. Hope to see my Pensacola peeps tonight!
Check out my song list. If you don't see your favorite send me an e-mail with yours. I'm always adding new ones. Special songs for special events. Request your song for a wedding,anniversary,birthday etc...
Been polishing up my Christmas songs. It's always good to book early for your event. I can be a part of any gathering, whether it's smooth and mellow or dancing and rocking. A party is not a party without music.
Tammy really surprised Tom Saturday Night. Played all their favorite songs. Tom and his back up singers shared the stage for a sing-along. What a great time on Ono Island. Met new friends,wonderful group of people. Kudos to Nancy's Haute affairs. Paul and his staff were spot on. Food, wine, everything was top of the line and delicious. Let's do it again next year!
I'll be entertaining at the One Year Anniversary celebration @ Gibson Girl Clothing. This great boutique is in the Gulf Breeze Publix shopping center. Bring the girls and enjoy fun, food and music by yours truly.
5-8 PM.
See you there.......
Yes, that is a pic of me and Bob Schneider. He is my favorite writer/performer on the planet! I have about 15 of his tunes in my songlist, so if you want to get a BS fix, come see me! Oh, and.....FAYM!
Wow! What a fantastic summer. Made a lot of new friends and lots of great musical memories! I got to see a couple of great concerts (Steely Dan and Bob Schneider twice). Looking forward to my favorite time of the year . I'm still holding down Wednesdays @ Cosmo's (4 years now), and I'll be announcing some new venues soon. Thanks to all my friends, family and club owners for all your support.
What an honor to play at my buddy Kenny's party last night @ The Hollow. Only with a government job can you retire so young with double pay and full benefits! I'll be rocking 'till I drop dead......Now he's on full-time vacation. Well earned, buddy!
Many thanks to those fallen hero's that have made the ultimate sacrifice to guarantee our freedom. I have a big weekend planned, and I hope to see ya'll at a gig!
I love my new venues!
Unique Cafe: This is the former Bon Appetit location in Gulf Breeze. Wonderful employees and owners offering excellent food, full bar and the best sunset in the Pensacola area. I'm there on Sundays from 6-9pm. You will love this place!
Guy Harvey's Island Grill: The heart of The Wharf with full bar and wonderful island food. Very cool place to hang down Gulf Shores way!
Big Fish Restaurant and Bar: This is the former VIP Lounge location featuring great seafood prepared before your eyes in the open kitchen. I play on the beatiful patio w/ fountains and fireplace.
Have a big weekend on Perdido Key/ Orange Beach. After you throw your fish (wash your hands) and then join Mike E at 3 great venues. Saturday afternoon @ Cosmo's for Dog Day. A big party for a GREAT cause. Meet Cosmo himself and enjoy the stupid pet tricks competition. I'll be playing music and MC for the contests! Then we cruise accross the street to Big Fish on the patio for an evening of sweet tunes. Then wrap up the weekend @ The Jellyfish Bar for a reunion show w/ all my IP and PK friends. FUN, FUN, FUN!
Can't say enough about this new venue! What a menu! Chef Nick has a great selection of tapas/apps and all entree items can be ordered as small or lg plates. The best wine list I've seen in the area and excellent cocktails all served by a PRO staff. Sit under the covered patio in the HEART of Downtown and experience a wonderful evening!
Tuesday is the big show @ 600 South. This is their re-grand opening to show off the new light Italian menu by Chef Nick. I'll be on the very cool covered patio with outdoor bar and 100 of my best friends. This will be a rockin good time at a very nice place. I've been playing a lot in Gulf Shores lately, so I can't wait to see my Pensacola peeps on Tuesday!
Man it was fun getting out on Ft Morgan again! Had a wonderful night of fun and music and reminiscing bout old times. Met lots of new friends also. Doing it again Memorial Day Weekend!
What a fantastic night on the deck this past Wed. Made some new friends (Jackson, MS, Kalamazoo, Texas) and had an incredible request list to work with. Driving home after the show with a big smile on my face...thanking God for giving me the best job on the face of the earth!
When it rains it pours! Songwriting for me has always come in waves, and I am riding one out right now. Working on some new ideas and melodies in the studio. Look for a new Mike E CD in later this summer!
I'll be rocking Dales BIG Deck @ Sabine Sandbar Friday night 7-11! This is a great locals's venue with outdoor bar and a great view over the harbor. Doing some video recording tonight for some Youtube demos. Lot's of old P'cola fans coming out tonight! Can't wait!
We're having a ball on Wednesday's @ Cosmo's. The deck is beautiful this time of year. And, as always. the BEST food and wine on the coast!!!
First gig @ this great Pensacola Beach venue. Come on out Saturday for a great night of sweet tunes 7-11pm!
It saddens me deeply to leave my musical home base of the the last 2 1/2 years. I've made some truly dear friends and have wonderful memories to last a lifetime. I've rolled with the changes through three different owners, but this last one has made it impossible to continue on. If there is one thing in this business that is consistent, it is that things change. So, as Dylan aptly sings, I am "searching for another joint". So, to all my PK and IP brothers and sisters (and friends from all over the world who spent vacation time with us) I love you all more than you know!!! Check my schedule page as I update 2011 gigs, and let's get together soon. It was a great run!
