ABOUT
Hi everybody. I’m a singer/guitarist/songwriter. I’ve been playing the Maryland, DC, Virginia area since I was a teenager and currently play about 70 shows a year. I perform solo and also with my good friend Eric Wolf (lead guitar) in the Mike Mead & Eric Wolf Duo. My biggest inspirations come from the 70’s era of music from artists like Elton John to Kiss to Led Zeppelin. I began gigging locally when I was 16 years old and played in many projects before becoming the front man of Frankie and the Actions with my good friend Frankie Clarke. My journey with music through the years has taken me so many places with great memories and meeting new people.
Currently, I’m doing my regular solo acoustic show. In addition to that, Eric Wolf (lead guitar) and I perform regularly as Mike Mead/Eric Wolf Duo.
Currently, I am looking to fill the drummer spot in the MIKE MEAD BAND !
NEWS
Hi everybody and thanks for taking a moment to visit my site for all news and information about my life and music, that I’ve deemed “not none of your business !
11/22/2024
So, everything happens the way it happens…not the way it’s supposed to, not for a reason, not for the best…it just happens the way it happens.
My spinal stenosis surgery was again put off because they want me to get a heart catheterization done first and see what that reveals. So, for the moment, my normal life proceeds while I wait for insurance to blah blah blah
NO DATE FOR ANYTHING as of this writing.
The heart cath will reveal whether I can proceed with the spinal surgery OR deal with the heart issue first. If I have to get the heart treated with a stent or whatever first, that pushes my spinal surgery back a minimum of six months due to blah blah blah
Meanwhile I feel fine as far as my heart goes. No tightness in the chest, no shortness of breath. Some days I find myself moving and doing as if I don’t have spinal stenosis, but it’s there. It’s sort of like a constant discomfort that makes me grunt and groan my way through life and keeps a pained look on my face.
I’m still cracking jokes, talking shit etc.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, twice now, I’ve given away my gigs when I thought I would be recovering from surgery.
So currently there’s nothing on the calendar. But I’ve reached out a bit to pick up something before the end of the year.
That “LOCAL” place just put out that post looking for live music, so…
Once again, a reminder that I’m working on my next original release, “THE MESS” with my musical team that helps me get things done.
The Mike Mead/Eric Wolf DUO is busy in the lab working up some tasty covers to invigorate the set list and the MIKE MEAD BAND is still searching for the right drummer.
The MIKE MEAD BAND is:
Ronnie Taber-bass/vocals
Eric Wolf-lead guitar
Mike Mead-lead vocals/guitar
Everyone, have a peaceful Thanksgiving and may the holiday season be blah blah blah
