    Tennessee born and bred, Mike has had a successful career in the music industry spanning more than 25 years, having started out with his major label band Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies in 1991.

    In his latest release, the Nashville rocker keeps it earthy and personal.

    The title of the album, ‘Silver and Stone’, references his wife’s wedding ring, and the record celebrates his many years of marriage and the support she has shown him.
