If you’re looking for some feel good music, Mike Snodgrass is your guy. He is a natural with music because he’s been around it for his entire life; I guess you could say it runs in the family. He began drumming when he was young and was highly inspired by Carter of Dave Matthews Band. This is evident in his singer/songwriter, highly precussive style. He learned guitar to play more songs of this genre and has grown into the acoustic/folk rock, singer/songwriter style that he expresses in his music today.
When asked where he draws his inspiration from, he answered that the river near his home in West Virginia was a peaceful place where he used to go to write. He is influenced musically by some great artists such as: Dave Matthews Band, Jason Mraz, Brett Dennen, Ray LaMontagne, Ben Harper, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, and many more. He also enjoys many classic rock bands as well.
Mike recently moved to Knoxville, Tennessee from Fayetteville, West Virginia to further his music career. Although he loves his hometown, he is ready to branch out and get his music to new audiences. He said it was something that he and his brother had talked about for years and now they have both finally taken the plunge. He hopes to get his name out to the folks of Knoxville and hopefully someday tour the country and hopefully the world! He has played shows at many venues in Knoxville and is currently setting up a Spring tour that takes him all the way to New York City!
His song Love You from his latest CD, Experience, is a beautiful song with a great range of vocals from Mike.
He also does an awesome cover song now and then.
