Have you thought of having some live music at your next gathering? Maybe a family celebration, a get together with friends, a company picnic or a block party? Are you organizing a charity event? A live performer makes an event a little bit more special. I play a variety of recognizable tunes from different eras and genres in a casual, background music manner. With years of playing at local Farmer's Markets, I have something for everyone. I do this for fun, not a living so you will find my quotes surprisingly affordable. I don't accept gigs if I don't feel that I am a good fit so feel free to send a note and ask question or two.

January 24, 2025We have used "You Know The Tune" a few times in the past and once again he did not disappoint. He was asked last minute to change everything up and do 80's themed music and he succeeded. Always a pleasure and we will have him back

You Know The Tune
Thank you for the kind words, Liz ! I enjoy being part of your events - and finding some more “vintage” tunes was fun. Best to you and the community

December 30, 2024This is the second time I've booked Mike for one of our work events. He played at our Run event back in June, and most recently played at our Holiday Breakfast. Mike is so kind and an amazing musician, he had songs prepared and curated for the event and was great at going with the flow of our event. I HIGHLY recommend booking Mike for your next event!

September 6, 2024Mike played in our backyard for the cocktail hour for our parents birthday and he was perfect! He was so lovely to deal with leading up to the event, and his music was perfect for a backyard relaxed vibe. Thank you so much Mike!

I offer tunes from the pop, folk, rock, jazz and country genres. I always enjoy presenting something that people wouldn't expect me to play ( hello Biebs and Brittany) and offering a different version of the song is something I am often complimented on. Some harmonica is used to give an added dimension. Soft and mellow or playing to the back of the room...I never want to interfere with the purpose or enjoyment of your attendees so am happy to take your direction on the volume.
After playing at many of Vancouver's and surrounding area Farmers Markets for 7 years I'm moving indoors. I've played at coffee shops, charity events and company events during this time also and am quite comfortable playing in venues where an entertainer is required to provide an atmosphere of familiar tunes in a casual setting as a background for the social activity underway.
I use my own high quality acoustic amp and microphone, bring my own chair and stands.
