“Mike Strickland wowed our audience with his dazzling performance. He drew one of our largest audiences of the season”
Carolee Brown- Executive Director, Uinta County Concert Series, Evanston WY

“I do not get emails regarding a concert however Mike’s performance stirred up numerous ones the next day, telling me how much they enjoyed Mike and his bassist Clipper Anderson. Mike is so engaging it’s like he’s speaking and playing just to you in your own home. He is one of our top engaging performers we have had.
Mike had invited a talented young vocalist from our local high-school as well as the high-school’s band teacher, (a talented clarinetist) to guest with him during the concert and I’m in awe how Mike can mentor and work with the youth and people of all ages to create a winning atmosphere for all of them. He’s the real deal, and genuine is his passion to make music for all to enjoy.

RCCA likes to close each season with a hit, and your appearance can certainly be described as a hit. Please feel free to use RCCA as a reference. The recommendations will be easy to make.”

“Mike was an extraordinary pianist. His technique was incredible…. he used his phenomenal ability in every musical genre he performed….jazz, blues, classical and contemporary styles. And a dog on stage! That was a definite audience pleaser.”

“Mike, I just want to reiterate what a wonderful concert you provided to our Clark County residents for what was easily our best concert so far this season.

“Warm, cozy, and intimate, with an ample sprinkling of brilliance and musicality, that describes Mike Strickland’s performance in Port Ludlow, WA. He truly gave the audience a night to remember! Mike appeared here for second time, brought back by repeated requests from our audience, to once again charm and engage all of those in attendance. He is a sensational musician; a gifted composer and his engaging narratives from the stage make you feel like a personal friend enjoying an evening of music and stories in the comfort of your living room. Be prepared, if you have Mike Strickland for your concert series, you will have him back again and again!”
Martha Dawson, Port Ludlow Arts Council
