"Wailin" Michael Weldon Osborn was born in Illinois and grew up in the country on the bank of the Kankakee river not unlike Huckleberry Finn hiking, hunting and fishing, enjoying the outdoors. His parents and grandparents listened to country music a lot, the kind they nowadays call “blue grass”, He hated it at the time but it would later have a big influence on him musically.
When he was 13 his family moved to Woodland CA (near Sacramento), he started taking guitar lessons in school. By the time he was 16 he was performing in local clubs and making money as a lead guitarist in a country rock band regularly. From there he went on to play in rockabilly and metal bands for years. He played in church as much as he could, and got the opportunity to play professionally for a couple years doing blues and classic rock and a few SRV tribute shows.
After taking a hiatus from music for a few years to focus on raising his children, Mike started back up again in October 2006 performing weekly and building up a network of musicians and music and reestablishing his reputation.
Mike has already received rave reviews on magazine, television and radio. Always performing with a raw "edge of the envelope" passion , and supported by the finest professional musicians, these shows are a definite must see.
October 09' marked the release of his first feature album "Fire & Fury" (a term used to describe the energy of his live performances), a 10 trac CD that is a unique blend of blues, rock, country and R&B. The original tracs on the album offer a rare glimpse into his personal views and thoughts on life.
Mike uses Fender and Gibson guitars and Fender and Marshall amps and a custom built gm-18 from Moore Amplification through a 2x12 cab also custom built from Moore Amplification and a custom built, reinforced signature model guitar neck built by Rex Guitarworks.
