Private Events
A personal soundtrack for the people you care about.
Solo acoustic music gives birthdays, anniversaries, backyard gatherings, and milestone celebrations a warm, memorable sense of occasion.
01
Music that feels part of the gathering
A private event does not always need a stage or formal concert. Mike can create an easygoing backdrop for arrivals and conversation, then bring more energy when the room is ready. The performance adapts to the event instead of forcing the event into a fixed show format.
02
Familiar songs across generations
A mix of Americana, folk, classic rock, country, blues, and modern acoustic favorites makes it possible to connect parents, friends, colleagues, and younger guests. Important requests can be discussed in advance.
03
Simple planning
Share the date, location, approximate guest count, schedule, indoor or outdoor setting, desired energy, and any meaningful songs. Mike will confirm the performance plan, setup needs, and timing so the host can focus on the guests.
04
A giving option with heart
For hosts who want a celebration to benefit the community, the Charity Challenge adds two causes and an optional audience vote through tips. Both charities receive support, and the winning cause also receives the host’s performance fee.
05
Bay Area private bookings
Mike performs at homes, rented venues, clubhouses, winery spaces, restaurants, and other appropriate locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Outdoor bookings depend on weather protection, power, and local sound rules.
