Two local causes
The venue chooses one. Mike chooses one.
San Francisco Bay Area
Live music that gives back.
Great songs, warm storytelling, and real community impact for wineries, restaurants, bars, fundraisers, private parties, and corporate events.
More Than Background Music
An experience your guests remember.
Mike performs a warm mix of Americana, folk, classic rock, country, blues, and modern acoustic favorites shaped for the room—intimate enough for conversation and engaging enough to create energy.
For hosts, the goal is simple: make the event feel more human, more memorable, and easier to enjoy.
The Charity Challenge
Every performance creates a winner.
The venue selects one local charity. Mike selects another. Guests vote with their tips throughout the show.
Audience voting
Each tip becomes a vote for the guest’s preferred cause.
Every dollar gives back
Both charities keep their buckets. The winner also receives the venue fee.
