Bio:
Singer/songwriter and U.S. Marine Mike Corrado garnered national radio and television airplay after releasing his song "On My Watch Tonight" from his 2005 album Falling Awake. The song, which features guest vocals from friend and multi-platinum artist Edwin McCain (I'll Be/I Could Not Ask For More) is the story of a Marine's journey from Boot Camp to the front lines, and quickly became an anthem for service men and women past and present around the world. Service is something Mike knows a lot about. After leaving active duty with the Marines, Mike set aside his rifle for a guitar and HUMVEE for a 15 passenger van and set out for four years of life on the road performing 200-250 shows a year. Both as a headliner and in support of such acts as John Mayer, Edwin McCain, Derek Trucks Band and many more, Mike established a strong grass roots following. On September 11, 2001, the day before kicking off an east coast album release tour, the plans changed. Mike was mobilized back to active duty and began training for deployment. Still finding time to write and perform while on active duty, Mike released Falling Awake in 2005 just weeks away from leaving for a year-long deployment to Fallujah, Iraq. Upon return from deployment, Mike released Start Saving Me in November 2008. 2009 was big year for Mike as he continued to blur the genre lines between rock and country. In June, Mike made a trip to Nashville during CMAFest to perform and appear in a documentary and music video for country music super star John Rich then returned to Hawaii and wrapped up the summer opening up for number one Billboard artists the Black Eyed Peas. In January 2010, Mike began working on his latest album with veteran producer Noel Golden (matchbox twenty, Edwin McCain, Willie Nelson and Lee Ann Womack to name a few) and recently opened for Bon Jovi in Honolulu as they kicked off their "The Circle" world tour. Mike, his story and music have been featured nationally on CNN, ABC, CBS, Rolling Stone Magazine, Armed Forces Radio & Television and on multiple cable Music-On-Demand channels.
