- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Growing up in a small beach town, Mike began his musical photosynthesis by the
age of 13, with the piano. Soon after, he entwined his fingers around his first
guitar and found his passion to be laced within its six strings. A prolific and
gifted songwriter from early on, Struwin produced and released his first CD by
the age of 17. Now, seven albums later, Mike Struwin has become a staple in the
Midwest music scene. His release "Roots Down," received critical acclaim, and
two of his songs were featured in film soundtracks, including a surf
documentary called "Beautiful" that was released in association with Imagine
Afrika Productions. Struwin has played at Festivals with such acts as The
Doobie Brothers, Robert BradleyÆs Black Water Surprise, Inner Vissions and
Aswah Greggori. He has shared the stage with members from Greensky Bluegrass,
UmphreyÆs Magee and even David CrosbyÆs Band.
Moving to Portland, Oregon in 2006 this folksy artist began work on his 7th
album, ôStorylineö. Enlisting the help of some of PortlandÆs finest musicians,
ôStorylineö contains 10 heartfelt original tunes. Featuring stunning
performances from Damian Erskine, (Terry- Lynn, Tony Fertado) Paul Hoffman, (
Greensky Bluegrass) Paul Brainard, (Richmond Fontaine) and Alex Shakari ( The
Insomniacs ) just to name a few, this album is StruwinÆs finest work to date.
As he travels and absorbs the wide world around him, Mike gives the gift of
song to each experience, like a Homeric bard with a winsome smile. See him
perform live, or simply press play on one of his albums, and you are sure to be
moved by his poignant cross-genre crooning.
