Mike enjoys playing covers of guitar legends such as Santana, Robin Trower, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and his personal favorite George Benson. You will enjoy many different sounds from Mike as he uses his guitar synthesizer to produce very realistic horn sections, saxophones, pianos, organs and more.

Bass
Originally, a very fine classical guitarist, he added bass to his list of instruments. Jim provides a great sound and groove to band with his meticulous copying of bass parts on the many different songs the band plays. Always locking in great rhythmic feels with Beau, he is the perfect finish to a great sounding band, all done while adding vocal harmony parts.

Our Very First Gig
(Mike Askew) is an option that you may wish to consider. We call it "The Best of Both Worlds". You can hire Mike just for disc jockey service, or even better, request both the band and disc jockey. The music will be non-stop, and whatever the band is unable to play for you, can provide the original recording. Imagine the band plays, and for the breaks you have a disc jockey.
