   About Mike MacArthur
In 1998 Mike MacArthur took the tenor sax chair on Maynard Fergusons Big Bop Nouveau Band. After touring North America, Europe and Asia for two years with Maynard, mike made the decision to leave the band to start his own solo career. Later in 2000, Mike released his first solo CD Paradise Point. Then in 2002, he released Deal Me In and continues to perform and tour the country along with artists like Diane Schuur. Other artists Mike has had the pleasure of working with include Jeff Kashiwa, Rick Derringer, Chieli Minucci, Mary Wilson & The Supremes, Roger Waters (Pink Floyd), and many more. (listed below) Born in upstate New York, Mike started as a guitar player and eventually moved to the saxophone. After leaving high school Mike attended Florida State University and Manhattan School of Music. Some of Mikes achievements include Best Young Jazz Instrumentalist in Downbeat Magazines Student Music Awards, 1993 as well as performances at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday in October 2000 and 2002 Currently living in Tampa Florida, Mike leads his own band locally along with touring as a sideman with national acts. Mikes inspiration comes from a variety of players and styles. From the be-bop sounds of Charlie Parker to the modern sounds of Michael Brecker, Mike approaches his music with fire and passion. Check out Mike's latest release "That's What I"m Talkin Bout"!!

SATURDAY OCT 3
Andy Irvine Group (ROCK/JAMJAZZ) The bass monster returns! Bassist Andy Irvine (Beanstalk, Clang) hits stage of the Skipperdome for an evening of jamtastic funk, jazz and rock blended in Irvine's own distinctive way and delivered with some truly jaw-dropping musicianship.
http://myspace.com/andyirvinebassist

The lineup for this performance includes Andy on bass, reed master Mike MacArthur on saxophone and Tampa Bay jazz legend Dave Reinhardt on drums. Guitar duties will be handeled by LaRue Nickelson (jazz guitar instructor at USF) along with very special guest Jack Shawde. Truly a world-class guitarist, Shawde has performed, recorded or toured with such legends as Bob Dylan, Dr. John, Paul Butterfield, Richie Havens, Stan Lynch (Tom Petty), Al Cooper (Blood Sweat & Tears), Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry as well as accompanying Enrique Iglesias at the Latin Grammy Awards for a worldwide audience of 10 million. Local audiences will be familiar with Shawde through his longtime association with Miami songstress Diane Ward.

w/Middle Rhythm Session (PROG/JAMBAND) Behold, a (quasi) jamband that doesn't take 20 minute guitar solos, writes catchy songs, and can actually sing!

Shaun Hopper (FINGERST:LE GUITAR VIRTUOSO) Yes, Shaun plays here a lot. That's because he's really, really good and is a really, really nice guy. Shaun's playing inhabits the space between Chet Atkins precision and Tommy Emmanuel fireworks. http://www.shaunhopper.com

Hey Mike and friends therof,
Check the original tune "Journey To Freedom" On My Jukebox. It is a Cuban Songo/Funk-Fusion Thang. This is in pre-production with all computer instruments programmed by me with my live guitar track. More details are in the blog. There will be a full version forthcoming with some real humans playing the instruments. Just a preview/note-sketch for now.


Enjoy
