BIO

According to critics, Mike Mangione's music has been termed "beautiful," "timeless," "stunning," and among the "best of the year." Mangione combines soul, folk, roots-rock and pop to create music that emphasizes tone - both lyrically and instrumentally.

On the road Mangione performs his soulful acoustic pop selections as a quartet consisting of acoustic, electric guitar, classical violin, and cello. As a live act, the group recreates the live mood of their recordings, searching for musical moments by favoring atmosphere, arrangement, and dynamics.

Mangione's constant dedication to the audience and the art of live performance has been the underlying impetus behind the bi-coastal (and international), ongoing tour.

Some recent highlights include appearances on Sirius Satellite Radio, WGN-TV, Milwaukee's NBC affiliate (a record five-times), SXSW, Summerfest, Taste of Chicago, World Youth Day, The Recording Academy's Chicago Bluesfest Kickoff Jam, and MPR's The Current.
