Mike McLeod Music
Solo Performer – Full Band Sound
You want Live Music for your Event…
You want songs your guests know and love, played with soul, at the perfect volume.
It should go with the flow – say, chill tunes as guests settle in, then ramp up to dance-mode when the time is right.
Sound right? I’m your guy!
Solo Performer – Full Band Sound?
That’s right! I do what is called Looping, where I build up a song in layers. I play acoustic and electric guitar, bass, keyboards, mandolin and lap steel, with lush vocal harmonies. It’s real-time, nothing pre-recorded. With killer drum tracks. It’s in stereo, with studio-quality sound, at the perfect volume.
I’ve spent decades crafting my tone. I want each part to sound just right. As a producer, I know how to create a live mix that “sounds like the record.”
Watch my Episode 1 video to see how
this whole looping thing works!

Experience
Affordability
As a solo act, I’m less than half the cost of a comparably skilled full band. I don’t need a large stage. Or 5 vendor meals, haha!

I love these songs, so I play them with soul, NEVER “phoning it in.” I read the room and engage at the right level. I can’t do cheesy, it’s not in my DNA. Hey!
