DESCRIPTION:
Mike Ethan Messick has hosted and anchored the Gibson Texas Backroom Bootleg Sessions since their inception back in November 2011, but for much longer than that he's been a respected singer/songwriter picking up stray fans and friends one small-venue gig or lucky radio spin at a time. Covered literally dozens of times by fellow artists, ranging from obscure to headliner status, he's put out a couple of solid Americana records of his own and shared stage and studio time with more of his heroes and friends than he could count. Blessed with a good imagination and unbound by commercial concerns, he's known for always having something new and original to sing.
