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, with my good friend Eric Wolf (lead guitar) in the Mike Mead & Eric Wolf Duo and The MIKE MEAD BAND. 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.
Welcome Mike Dowler as the new drummer for the MIKE MEAD BAND !

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 ! “
8/21/2025
Here we all are. Alive at the same time. Born at different times. We’ll pass on at different times. But today, here we all are. Alive at the same time and going through our daily trials and triumphs, large and small. Public and private. I hope that you, my beloved friends and fans, are doing the best you can at achieving what you want to achieve. And in good health, I might add. Life is so busy.
Speaking of good health, I almost didn’t notice that my last pain in my right rear side, has finally faded down to nothing. I still sit during my solo gigs now but THE SURGERY WORKED ! I feel pretty good now walking around. So there, we don’t really have to blab on about that anymore.
My mom has finally let her age creep up on her ( I expressly told her not to do that ! lol ). At 94 years old, her legs have just failed and she’s in the hospital as of this writing with mild pneumonia, and a blood clot in her lung. All being treated. She’ll be transferred to a physical rehab place from there to exercise her legs and arms to help her regain strength. She’s weak as a baby. Please keep her in your prayers. She’s led an incredible life of resilience and faith and it ain’t over yet !
Opportunities for the Mike Mead Band are starting to materialize, most notably THE REX THEATRE, THURSDAY AUGUST 28TH FROM 7-10PM. One night only ! We need ya. Yup, We need ya.
My solo and duo projects seem to be “steady as she goes”, which is definitely a good thing. I think that’s it for now. I’m digging the break from the heat. Embracing every day for what it is and manifesting abundance HA HA HA HA HA . I definitely DON’T manifest abundance lol. Whatever the fuck that is ?
Love ya ta pieces !
Look for THE MIKE MEAD BAND this year, as we will be playing out at rock bar near you !
Keep scrolling for the updated show schedule !
PROGRESS has been, and is being made, on my next song, THE MESS. So stay tuned for the ballad.
The MIKE MEAD BAND is:
Ronnie Taber-bass/vocals
Eric Wolf-lead guitar
Mike Mead-lead vocals/guitar
Mike Dowler - drums/vocals
Peace, Love, And Shit All Over
