Music is who I am and what I do, and I have decades of experience providing memorable performances all over the world. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual and consistently creating the kinds of performances that live on in people’s memories long after I set down my Taylor or close the piano. How do I do this? By playing from my heart, come rain or shine, to engage my audience, encourage them to participate and let the music take them away. Although originally self-taught, my education at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston where I studied guitar performance can give you confidence that my services will be of the highest caliber.

A true master of his craft, Antosh understands what it is to be a singer-songwriter. Not only does he perform guitar, keys, drums and vocals at a virtuoso level, he synthesizes words, emotions and ideas into four-minute experiences about the things that matter, whether it’s a cover song or an original. Playing with all the musical devices available to him, he takes his audiences on a journey from one end of the scale to the other and back again, often building to a suspenseful and gratifying climax.
Mike is professional, arrives early to set-up and to make sure the technical aspects are solid so that when showtime comes, he can focus solely on giving a high quality performance. He is skilled at mixing sound and optimizing the audio output for any environment. He is also skilled at reading the room and understanding if the vibe should be mellow and kept to the background or if his job is to encourage engagement and put on a high-powered, captivating performance.
Mike Antosh has been performing professionally since the age of 15 (and casually since the age of six when he gained a reputation as a local drum prodigy playing at county fairs.) His teen years were spent performing in various bands in NE Pennsylvania: he molded his front-man abilities as a lead vocalist and rhythm guitar player as a high school junior in an all-adult band, Shaving Holly and McNothing. He recorded several demos and sold out shows and played an average of 3 times per week by the time he graduated. This invaluable experience landed him acceptance into Berklee College of Music in Boston where he studied Guitar Performance and Songwriting. Antosh continued his career working exclusively as a professional musician for over a decade perform- ing original music and covers at highly-regarded establishments, private parties and events in South Florida, Utah, Maui and Los Angeles. Antosh is now based in Nashville.
As a cover artist, Mike has been described as a vocal chameleon. He has an uncanny ability to change his voice to match the sound and energy of a wide range of artists such as John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Johnny Cash, Jimmy Buffet, Eddie Vedder, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson and many more.
When it comes to his original music, Mike Antosh is a singer-songwriter with nothing to hide. His music is refreshingly vulnerable and he dares to "go there" - whether that's by tackling an impossibly intricate guitar riff, belting out lyrics directly from his soul or talking about uncomfortable themes in the most beautiful way. If a picture says a thousands word, one phrase of Antosh's music says a thousand feelings.
His performance career highlights include:
Performed in front of 4,000 people at the Still Grateful Festival in Jermyn, PA in 2018
- Opened for the band Boston in Berwick, PA in 2009
- Opened for Robert Randolph & The Family Band for Blendr Magazine's Blendr Blitz in 2009
- Toured 12+ cities in the Midwest with band “The Likely” in 2005
- Sang the national anthem at Mohegan Sun Arena for the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins twice in both 2009 and 2010
- Featured on the Acoustic Guitar Project - Global online project @ (link hidden)
