It might be said, of a career in roots music, that there is simply no substitute for on-the-job experience and good old fashioned hard work.

Mighty Mike Schermer has definitely done the work…touring and recording for well over 30 years with such legendary figures as Elvin Bishop, Charlie Musselwhite, Marcia Ball, Bonnie Raitt, Maria Muldaur, Howard Tate, Angela Strehli and many more.

He has also carved out a solid solo career, releasing 8 critically acclaimed albums and garnering a ton of attention for his songwriting in particular. Schermer’s songs have been covered by blues award recipients Tommy Castro, Billy Price and the late Frank Bey to name just a few.

Hot young guitar shredders get run up the industry pipeline on an almost daily basis, intoxicating fans. Fireball shots and Jager-bombs intoxicate too. Listening to Mighty Mike Schermer is like sipping a vintage Kentucky Bourbon; sweet guitar licks burn smooth, mellow and go down easy. Smoky vocals are delivered in well-chosen glassware, telling stories that warm from the bottom up and the inside out.

You’ll get all you need out of one sitting, but you’ll be back tomorrow for another taste. Like barrel-aged whiskey or fine red wine…leather boots or your favorite jeans. Some things just get better with age. Mighty Mike Schermer is Just Gettin’ Good!
