Overview

I’m a solo singer guitarist performing current country artists with a beach accent mixed in, think Jason Aldean to Jimmy Buffett. A little about me personally; I’m a retired Deputy Sheriff and also taught High School for 16 years and was a lead singer in several bands in the Northern Virginia area and transitioned into a solo performer upon retiring from teaching.

Awesome music for a Summer party!

We loved having Coastal Sounds at our country club for a member event. They even started early for us! Great song list and it was a perfect volume to still hold a conversation during dinner. We will invite Coastal Sounds out again!

Beautiful voice and great playlist

I had the pleasure of having Mike play with a 4 piece band at my retirement party in 2021, but I have enjoyed Mike’s music and voice in several of his variants, from single with an acoustic guitar to playing with a 4 piece country rock band. He has an easy calm demeanor and plays all of the country, country rock and some rock favorites.
His vocal abilities allow him a wide range of song choices, and his performances are never boring!

Talent & Charm

Mike’s a talented performer, and has an easy charm that makes him ideal for clubs and lounge entertainment. His repertoire is a mix of beach, modern country and classic rock, performed with panache. His gear is scalable, to accommodate venues that tangle from intimate to hundreds of people.

What to expect

I enjoy interacting with the crowd and try to play a mix that has music that will appeal to everyone, with a focus on the current country artists and occasional curve ball to catch the listeners interest.

About

I’m a solo performer right now but over the last 12 years I’ve also been lead singer in several 4 piece bands focusing on modern country with a mix of southern/classic rock. That time period I lived in the Northern Virginia area before moving to the Outer Banks and then Myrtle Beach.

Additional booking notes

I use a Flow8 mixer along with a Bose sound system and also have a light system if requested.
