Description
Enjoy the wonderful music of Mike Ehlers.
Acoustic music that covers alot of territory, Mike Ehlers moves from eco-folk-rap to pop, from alt-country to mellow grooves, from story-folk-with-a-punch to ballads born in the depths of a quieted gratitude. A multiple first-round winner of WCS (West Coast Songwriters) competitions in Northern California, he won "Song of the Year" in the Sebastopol division for 2010. Originally hailing from Northern California, Mike returned in 2009 after spending the five years in Canada, where he gained a faithful local following.
"Music has always been a part of my life. My parents were huge fans of the singer/songwriters of the 70's and I had the lyrics to many songs memorized by the time I was five years old. I was about eleven when I found a guitar in the closet of my grandmother’s house. I used to hold it in my lap for long periods of time, pretending that I could play the two remaining strings. At my next birthday, my Uncle Walt gave me the guitar. It still had only two strings, but we fixed that pretty quick."
