Mike Green’s philosophy about life may be a bit confounding to listeners. His songs exhibit a palpable tension between tenderness and irony, profundity and slapstick, aching beauty and fierce rock & roll. He creates poetic alchemy by pairing words and melody in a way that is more powerful than each would be separately.

Mike’s songs cover all kinds of ground, painting human portraits of his extended family members, hilarious takes on being stuck at home during the pandemic, stream-of-consciousness journeys, a filthy and frustrated blues, a glimpse into the life of an abused woman, and many mature love songs. Occasionally he gets overtly political. In concert, Mike takes audiences on a wild emotional ride, showing them beauty and humor and everything in between.

He will be joined by Rod Capps, a seasoned guitarist and singer-songwriter, performing a range of styles from folk to rock to musical theater.
