Mike Giacolino's muse is as old as music itself, in fact its the underlying genesis for most art.
The loss of love and the struggle to make sense of one's existence after its gone.
With enough pedal steel to evoke Gram Parsons and enough clever turn of phrase to Make Elliot Smith smile, Mike G's music wanders its lonely path trying to straddle the line between comedy and tragedy.
His struggles somehow make us feel more righteous in our own.
One can't help but raise their glass to him, shake off the chill and toast him with a "man Ive been there". Scott Abrams Dec. 2008
It was a pleasure playing with you last Friday at the Mine (and thank you for the disc - a terrific batch of tunes, my friend). We'll definitely send a disc your way just as soon as we get the dang thing finished... Have a great holiday, and let's definitely set up another show soon. Cheers, Timmer
Hey Mike, really enjoyed your set at the ballard mine! You've got a great thing going. Keep us posted on when you have more shows..I just saw that I missed you last night. I want to catch another show of yours and drink whiskey while you're playing for some reason.
