Overview
I am a Singer/Songwriting performer. I have played all over Long Island, in Ohio, and Maryland. I have lots of audio and video online so you can see what I do. Music style: My style is soft rock, new agey, slightly jazzy. My influences are Paul Simon, Beatles, Steely Dan, Peter Gabriel, James Taylor, Bob Dylan. I can perform for as little as an hour to a full day with no repeats. I can play a 3 hour originals only set too.

The Long Island Yacht Club wants to thank you for helping make our Valentine's Day event extra special. The songs you played suited our needs perfectly. We stepped out of the box and decided to get a live musician, as opposed to a DJ, to create a more personal type of entertainment for this event, and we were so glad we did. Your professionalism and your non-stop playing were greatly appreciated. We will not hesitate to use you for a future event. Thanks again.

Mic Wells performed at my wedding on 13 October 2012. My mother recommended him to us, and after looking at his list of songs he could perform we knew he would be a good fit. Our correspondence before the event was always easy; when we had a request, he was always quick to reply. Anyone who has planned for a wedding knows that rapid responses are necessary at alleviating stress. One of our requests was for him to play a specific song that was not on his list; he took one listen and instantly said that it wouldn’t take him long. When he performed the song during our ceremony, it was very well done and our friends and family commented on how good it sounded. I would definitely recommend Mic for any event, he was a joy to work with and both my wife and I were happy to have him contribute to our wedding.

About
I started my musical life when i received a ukelele for christmas. My mother encouraged us to play and signed us up for guitar and piano lessons. I played by ear, and my piano teacher envied my ability to learn songs without sheet music. I started writing songs in my late teens, and have spent my life learning more, writing more and playing every chance i get. Finding an outlet in virtual worlds for my hunger to play out has helped me hone my performance skills so that I can literally play for many hours and connect with my audiences. My improvisations are each unique and satisfying. I play piano, and guitar, cover songs, originals, interpreted covers. My songlist and videos are available online, so you can see if we are a musical match.
