April 29, 2026A true musician and professional
We have recently hired Mike to perform during the Sundance Film Festival at an art gallery and could not have been more pleased with his professionalism and musicality. Importantly, Mike can read a room and adjusts his sound to accommodate the vibe. Importantly, he is a true musician who works at his craft. We loved him so much that another friend booked him right away for another party and the gallery owner asked to also have him return. You absolutely cannot go wrong hiring Mike for your special event!

July 29, 2025Don't think, Just book!
We hired Mikael for a corporate conference welcome reception, and he was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. His communication was seamless, he arrived early for setup, and came fully equipped with his own high-quality gear. In fact, his setup was so impressive that several guests asked about it, a testament to the professional level he brings. (This detail matters because “gear” can sometimes just mean a mic and a small speaker. Mikael goes above and beyond!)
Not only was he incredibly professional, but his performance exceeded our expectations. He’s a wildly talented guitarist with a great setlist that perfectly matched the vibe of our event.
One of the standout moments was when our event unexpectedly extended by 30 minutes—without hesitation, Mikael kept playing with a smile. That kind of flexibility and positive attitude is the mark of a true team player. I would absolutely hire him again in a heartbeat!

We had a small rooftop concert and Mikael was awesome. Great songs that everyone loved, and was very engaged with the audience. He is also incredibly easy to work with and provided everything he needed. We are excited to have him back!

Mikael was very professional and accommodating! We had a change in our venues, from indoor with electricity to completely outdoors with no electricity on a chilly evening. He was able to learn my favorite song and then played during the evening beautifully. We cannot thank him enough and would highly recommend him!
