11/24/2007 - I just recently got back from Southern California and Nashville. The Southbay Music Awards were a lot of fun. I didn't take home the Big Prizes but it was an honor to have been nominated and recognized at the event For Top Independent CD and Best Country Artist/Group Of The Year awards. Thanks for all your votes! We made it very close! You are awesome friends, fans and family...In Nashville I demoed 2 new songs, performed for the staff at Country Weekly Magazine - a great bunch of people! There's more good news coming...

I’ve got to tell you, being able to live this music dream is unbelievable. Of course, there’s the ups and down but what a ride. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do and I thank God everyday for being blessed with this chance. The chance to write and sing and make a living at it. I hope we can do this thing together for a long time to come.

Pete Smith – D.J. & Music reviewer - “Advertiser” (UK) on August 17, 2007 Album Reviews: Mike Lounibos – Planet California

“I have been acquainted with the work of Mike Lounibos for a couple of years or so and have always been impressed but not as impressed as I am with his latest album, the superb “Planet California” (Southern Angel Music). Mike has a great country voice, easily the equal of many who are touted as superstars these days, and he is one of the most innovative writers one could wish to meet..."
