A guitar player himself, Mike is an avid fan of good old fashioned rock and roll, as well as alt country, bluegrass and the whole jam band scene. Before his first anniversary at Bias, he had already assisted on sessions with two of his heroes, Bela Fleck and Peter Rowan. Since then he has worked with all sorts of musical acts including jazz combo groups, singer-songwriters, modern folk, hard rock, Christian rock, and of course, good old fashioned rock and roll. No matter what style of music you are working on, Mike brings his diverse background to the table, and he is eager to offer his opinion (when asked, of course).

A recent session found Mike behind the board for the renowned blues artists Cephas and Wiggins recording a song which was included in the 13-part PRI radio series hosted by Keb’ Mo’ as part of the Year of the Blues. Another project brought Jazz masters Hod O’Brien, Royce Campbell, Tom Baldwin and Tony Martucci into the studio to work with Mike. He has also been fortunate enough to work with Elvis Costello’s band overdubbing drums and bass one evening while the band was in town for a show.

Producer Bernie Dake, upon completion of his third CD project with Mike says, "…another GREAT experience with Fish. I am always amazed at how quickly he gets around in Pro Tools….the bottom line for us is that we look forward to working at Bias with Mike because we feel like we are part of a family."

Mike is carrying on the Bias reputation for making artists and producers feel comfortable in well-equipped, sonically superior rooms. As he builds his career, Bias is offering very special rates on evening and weekend sessions with this young master. Check it out. And if you get a minute during a session with Fish, he’s always up for talking about how the Yankees are.
