NEW SONGS UP!!!

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Background:
Mike Fabano blends a folk rock charm to his heartfelt acoustic guitar driven songs. Critics assume that one has to be a disgruntled old man to write songs with any weight; have to have three ex-wives and a constant hangover. Mike Fabano proves that youth can have just as much wisdom as the older, more jaded set. His songs questions what it means to know someone, what relationships between people really mean, and whether all the worrying is even worth it. The songs are very straightforward in their execution. Sometimes a single guitar is all that's needed. Sometimes a full band is brought in, including piano on occasion. The songs are void of pretension and pseudo philosophical nonsense that plagues so many other groups. Instead, Mike Fabano takes his life experiences and crafts them into instantly likeable pop songs with an earnest message.
Music and Inspiration:
His folk sensibility adds to the natural sound of the music and allows for a greater amount of instrumentation in the songs. After working tirelessly on both his songs and his vocals, Mike recorded an EP, which is to be released shortly. While recording he was able to work with Bruce Miller, who has worked with artists ranging from Miles Davis to Dave Matthews. Mike has also played many venues in the NY/NJ area, including The Stone Pony, The Knitting Factory, and The Bitter End. Whether recording in the studio or rocking out at gigs, Mike Fabano always delivers all he's got and always with great results.
