About Me

If you like folksy country music, you will like Big Country Mike Mattera. Songs like "Doo-Doo On You" which reminds tourists not to feed the sea-gulls. "Pills Pills" if what you eat don't kill you, the cost of your pills will....and the latest after the hit TV series "Deal or No Deal" - I want it all..."A product of the 60's and 70's folk era. Mike grew up playing music from the Everly Brothers, Peter Paul & Mary, John Denver, John Prine, Harry Chapin and many more....Played throughout the Northeast at colleges, resort towns, and county fairs, under the name Michael Shoemaker...of "Shoemaker & Holly".Music greatly influenced by surroundings, and many songs depict events with a humorous edge. Other songs explore the path of growing up, life's expectations, experienced failures and success with love, friendships, health and faith.Most influenced by Harry Wincott, Roger Miller, Elvis Presley, Smothers Brothers,Jim Stafford, Ray Stevens, Jerry Reed, Mac Davis, George Harrison, Johnny Rivers, Ricky Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, Loudown Wainwright III, Arlo Guthrie & Steve Goodman. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
