Fulfilling a longtime dream and career milestone, Mike is also set to make his Opry debut on Nov. 8th.
Over the course of his career, the Billboard Top 40 independent artist has toured relentlessly, amassing a loyal legion of fans, regularly releasing new music and performing over 150 shows annually. Mike was named a Rolling Stone Artist You Need to Know, Pandora Artist to Watch and three of his songs have previously debuted at SiriusXM’s ‘The Highway.’ Rolling Stone lauded his songs as “radio-ready hits that transcend the Lonestar state,” and the San Antonio native has not only landed NINE #1 songs atop of the Texas music charts, but his previously-released Blink You’ll Miss It landed at #15 on the Billboard Heetseekers Albums chart.
Collaborating with major label artists such as Brad Paisley and Brandy Clark, Mike’s craft as a songwriter earned him a Top 20 hit as a co-writer on Brad Paisley’s “Last Time For Everything” and Paisley reciprocated with a shredding guitar solo on Mike’s previously released song “The Rewrite.” Mike co-wrote “Jacket On,” included on his album Longcut, with songstress Brandy Clark and Brent Anderson. The track also includes CMA Award-winning musician Jenee Fleenor adding her signature fiddle skills. Mike’s album Longcut also includes a roster of noteworthy songwriters including Phil Vassar, Josh Thompson, Hillary Lindsey, Gordie Sampson, Chris DuBois and more.
Most recently, the road warrior made his debut at Globe Life Field, his first-ever stadium show with Morgan Wallen. The concert made history as the venue's fastest sellout after nearly all tickets for the show sold out during presale. Mike is currently touring in support of his new album with upcoming shows in Nashville, TN (11/8), Fayetteville, AR (11/18) and Little Rock, AR (11/19).
