Mike Messitt

Vocals, acoustic and electric guitar

Mike draws on forty years’ experience performing, songwriting, recording and producing blues, Celtic and Americana music in New York while launching a parallel professional career in public and higher education administration. In 2013 he produced a CD   “Hour of The Wolf”, for singer songwriter Amy Collins.  As a New York based Celtic musician, he spent 5 years on the Irish Festival circuit sharing the stage with artists including Young Dubliners and Enter The Haggis.  He anticipates that his move to a warmer climate and passion for oysters will eventually cure his seasonally-affected disorder. Mike’s playing draws inspiration from many sources ranging from bluesman Guitar Slim to Irish multi-instrumentalist Donal Lunny.
