   About Mike B
http://myspacetotal.com/ All solo, all live. Guitar, Beatbox & Voice INVISIBLE MAN CD/DVD is HERE!!!
MIKE B: Invisible Man Available for purchase on CD Baby, www.cdbaby.com/mikebmusic

Check out sample tracks Awakening and A Cancer's Anthem (Break These Chains). I've been working with the boys at Casanova Studios to make a record that captures all the best of my live performances with studio-quality sound. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... The music - no holds barred. As long as it grooves, I'm down. You can hear electronica, classical, lotsa jazz, lotsa funk, lotsa soul, lotsa hip-hop. . . My feeling is music is music and all those styles/genres are just different faces of the same thing. The beats and technique are what hold everything together. And the technique is probably unlike anything you've ever seen before. . . ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Here's the deal - I play the guitar, and beatbox at the same time. On top of that, I can sing vocal melodies while dropping the beat to create a 3- or 4-part texture on the spot - the basic material has no overdubs whatsoever!!! (eg - Awakening) ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Just to mix things up a bit, I use a looper from time to time. I run my vocals through it, so I can sample the beat - in real-time - and sing over it, overdubbing extra vocal harmonies or rhythmic layers. (eg - Never Lookin Back, Chains) So when I play a show, I don't walk in with any pre-recorded material. If I use any loops, I'm just sampling myself on the spot. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... One of the tracks I have posted now is recorded live in concert. I want to paint a picture here, to give the honest flavor of what I sound like in concert. There are more videos and audio samples available at my website, www.mikebmusic.com. I appreciate all input, feedback, comments, so please holler atchyer boy and let me know what you think!!! ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Peace love and music - Mike B ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Check my video trailer, designed to introduce you to my style. Again, no overdubs.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Here's 'Ghost in the Kitchen' live from Rockwood Music Hall, 5.29.06 Ohhh SNAP!
