Mike Simmons

Mike Simmons is an up-and-coming folk/rock artist who's doing for Myspace-era ‘storytelling’ what the Counting Crows did for 1980’s overindulgence. With the soul and eloquence of a hard-living bluesman, Mike is making the kind of music that is meant to be consumed with patience and old-school class; through an old turntable, with glass of scotch, surrounded by items that make you think it might still be 1969.

Mike recently completed his second full-length record, the folk/rock inflected, life-on-the-road homage, For Those Who Travel on Mondays, which marks a stylistic and conceptual departure from the blues/singer-songwriter feel of Mike’s independent debut album, Love Might Have Been the Thing That Could Have Saved Me. This change is most evident in each record’s respective origins; while Love was somewhat of a pick-and-choose compilation of Mike’s early writings, Mondays was developed from the beginning as a sort of epilogue to the first phase of Mike’s life and career, a way to document and pay final respects to those people, places and things which have helped shape the course of his first 25 years.
