Mighty Mike Schermer Description
The French have long employed a style of cheesemaking called affinage, a careful practice that involves much more than just tossing the product into a dark cave and waiting for it to ripen. “...it is about a series of tedious, ritualized procedures...that are meant to inch each wheel and wedge toward an apex of delectability.” (Jeff Gordinier, NY Times 2011)
The same might be said of a career in roots music, where there is simply no substitute for on-the-job experience and good old fashioned hard work. Mighty Mike Schermer has definitely done the work...touring and recording for well over 30 years with such legendary figures as Elvin Bishop, Charlie Musselwhite, Marcia Ball, Bonnie Raitt, Maria Muldaur, Howard Tate, Angela Strehli and many more. He has also carved out a solid solo career, releasing 8 critically acclaimed albums and garnering a ton of attention for his songwriting in particular. Schermer’s songs have been covered by blues award recipients Tommy Castro, Billy Price and the late Frank Bey to name just a few. His autobiographical single “My Big Sister’s Radio” was recently hand-picked by none other than Bruce Springsteen to be included in The Boss’s “From My House to Yours” on Sirius/XM’s and is now in regular rotation! His songs and albums have been nominated for multiple awards and he has performed in all 50 US States and 25 countries around the world in a journey that is far from over. |
