Growing up in a small beach town, Mike began his musical photosynthesis by the age of 13, with the piano. Soon after, he entwined his fingers around his first guitar and found his passion to be laced within its six strings. A prolific and gifted songwriter from early on, Struwin produced and released his first CD by the age of 17. Now, seven albums later, Mike Struwin has become a staple in the Midwest music scene. His release "Roots Down," received critical acclaim, and two of his songs were featured in film soundtracks, including a surf documentary called "Beautiful" that was released in association with Imagine Afrika Productions. Struwin has played at Festivals with such acts as The Doobie Brothers, Robert Bradley’s Black Water Surprise, Inner Vissions and Aswah Greggori. He has shared the stage with members from Greensky Bluegrass, Umphrey’s Magee and even David Crosby’s Band. Residing in Portland, Oregon, this folksy artist travels and shares his gift of music to audiences all over the world.
