Mike was displaying those roots with an Acadian style on the accordion by the time he was eight, and had begun his exposure to Celtic music by listening to a variety of Scottish and Irish recordings. Mike received his first fiddle at age thirteen and quickly became enamored with the music of Cape Breton. Last year he released his own debut recording, “A legacy not to be forgotten," backed by Joel Chaisson on piano. Mike now lives in Cape Breton, but fans of Cape Breton fiddle everywhere can explore the unbelievable drive he brings to the tradition. As Dan MacDonald of the Cape Breton Post put it, "He has a lift to his playing that makes you take notice. He had the dancers on the floor early and they stayed there all night appreciating every note of every tune."
