About

Mikey is a star on the rise in the Pacific Northwest and instrumental guitar community alike.  He is the Winner of the 2024 Indiana State Fingerstyle Guitar Contest & the runner up of the 2024 International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship at the Walnut Valley Music Festival (Winfield, KS). The apprentice of 6 string bass virtuoso Josh Cohen (@themusicofjoshcohen), he primarily performs on a 7 string Charlie Hunter style hybrid guitar. He combines the fingerstyle technique of Charlie Hunter as well as the polyphonic piano-like tapping technique of Stanley Jordan.  He delivers an exceptional melodic harmony without the use of loopers or backing tracks across genres spanning from Blues, Funk, Swing, and Bossa Nova.
