MIKE OFFICER

With some impressive L.A. accomplishments behind him, singer/songwriter Mike Officer is calling St. Louis home and finding a new sound with a solo acoustic style, having previously performed on electric guitar at the helm of the Mike Officer Band. In the words of Los Angeles music reviewer Ebony March, his band "won some serious validation" in Southern California, and was described as "an intoxicating slice of down-home charm." Mike is known for a voice that can be both strong and soothing, writing songs about life and love that many people can identify with. His style mixes elements of Folk and R&B, with Bluesy undertones and hints of Alternative Rock that can only be described as original.
