Mike Nissen

Experienced (tours, studio, major label showcases, endorsed by Dunlop/MXR, etc), easy-going, road-tested, drama-free, drug-free guitarist looking for the perfect fit for a new project. Looking for an established project in which I can be creative with intelligent, passionate, driven, like-minded musicians. Also open to a start up band with serious musicians. Some demo type stuff can be found above, and links below to past projects.
Direction-wise I am open to any band/musician that is making sincere good music and is trying to innovate. Influences are to the left, but I am most digging and would love to join up with something influenced by: Doves, Broken Social Scene, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, Glasvegas, Phoenix, My Morning Jacket, Dr. Dog, Rogue Wave, Grizzly Bear.
That being said I like what can happen when there are different sets of influences going on in the room, but with some intersection.
previous bands:
WHICH WAY IS HOME (now called Sol Giant) --helped write and recorded on: Control Myself, Couldn't Break Your Heart, and Don't You Lie To Me. Performed the rest of the songs displayed and many more live.
