Band Members: Mike Rosen and Friends
Influences: Mike credits his song writing technique to artists like James Taylor, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Cat Stevens. His lyricism spawns from an intense love for poetry including William Wordworth, Wallace Stevens, Alan Ginsberg, e.e. cummings, and of course, the timeless writings of Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.
Sounds Like: The current acoustic performances which Mike has been delivering in clubs and venues around Los Angeles are more gritty than the lovely sounds of James Taylor, and more passionate than the ever-steady Johnny Cash. Mike's mixture of heartfelt 21st century emotion and traditional Folk style fits nicely into its niche of the Americana music dialogue.
