Roaming the land with basses and banjos, big and small, Mike Savino is a collector. Not of earthly things but of sounds. The more he walks, the more he finds. He stuffs them into little pockets, only to be found later crushed into tiny little pieces, never to be the same again.
Mike Savino is a Composer, Songwriter, and Multi-instrumentalist based in New York City.
Facts:
1. He doesn't remember anything before the second time he went to college.
2. He is friends with a cat name Stinko.
3. He might have a kazoo in his pocket.
4. He made up the word "Banjabumbalo" and is quite proud of it.
5. He loves YOU.
TALL TALL TREES "It'll be hard to put a finger on the new Tall Tall Trees LP. With a sound heavily steeped in old-time and bluegrass music, yet riddled with fuzz pedals, iron maiden quoteables, clanking percussion and surf harmonies, it just may be in a world of it's own" - "Danger" Dave Gilbert
