   About Mike Estep Band
When it’s all said and done, there’s only one way to describe the Mike Estep Band:

It’s all about the songs.

These songs are about people you know, places you’ve been, things you’ve felt. The single mother working extra shifts to give her kids something to dream about, and never complaining about the burden. The Vietnam vet taking his son to see The Wall and trying to make sense of it all. A walk along the carnival midway on a starlit night with your lover. The fine line between man and machine, blurred even more in this age of technology. A broken heart, a broken trust, a broken spirit. But yet, a belief that there are better days ahead.

It’s all about the songs.

You can feel it in the live performances. Steve Orlando, Jr. steers the ship with his soulful vocals and expressive drumming. Paul Opel provides the solid foundation with his energetic bass playing and frenetic stage presence. Brian McArdell takes you on a roller coaster ride from searing, heart-wrenching lead guitar to the hippest rhythm licks you’ll ever feast your ears on. And Mike Estep wraps it all together with his driving acoustic guitar, a voice that you can’t forget, and real emotion that makes every audience member a part of the experience.

It’s not about how hard or fast you can play. It’s not about how much money you can make. It’s not about becoming a superstar.

The Mike Estep Band. Since 1998. It’s all about the songs.

Critically praised original music, performed with a wide variety of uniquely flavored covers, wrapped in a package of pure fun.
