Having lived in Holly Michigan all of his life, Mike started playing
the drums when he was 14 years old. At a very early age he was
fascinated how pencils, sticks etc., would bounce and make
rhythm. Then he discovered drum sticks and there was no turning
back.
In 1965 & 1966 he performed with a band called Richie & The
Royal Tones and another called The Fugitives. One of his
favorite times was playing with the band at his high school for the
dances after the basketball games. Other bands he has performed
with are Moxie, The Martells and then Sound F/X & After Five
with Rick Boehms, LEGEND The Band's bass player.
Just before the start of a performance at the Grosse Pointe Yacht
Club, a storm came through the area and knocked out the power.
He and the other band members improvised and played the event
acoustically, much to the thrill of the wedding party and guests.
Chuck Berry and Bob Seger were early musical influences along
with the Rolling Stones. He loved the Chuck Berry covers that Bob
Seger did. To Mike, that is the essence of Rock & Roll.
Mike currently performs with the Trinity Lutheran Church worship
team in Fenton.
Mike's love of drumming is evident when watching him perform. He
is charged with energy and enthusiasm. He adds a real strong
and steady back beat to LEGEND The Band.
