Introduction to Presenters
Introduction to Presenters
Music by Mike Palmer- Mike Palmer has been writing and performing original music since the late ’70s—not to mention wrangling databases fulltime and TCOUG’s website in his spare time!
Raised in a musical family, Mike taught himself guitar and piano to accompany his expressive voice. His sound blends bluesy piano, heartland rock, and gospel-inspired hooks, influenced by artists like Billy Joel, Bruce Hornsby, and TobyMac.
With his wife, he created and coordinates the faith-based music festival Solid Rock in the Park.
As front-man of Mike and the Vibes, he performs regularly around Pine City and recently recorded in Nashville with AOK Records at the renowned Hilltop Studio. Preview his music at mikeandthevibes.com
