A self-taught guitarist, Mike Needler has graced stages all across the globe with many incredible acts, including a 2-month national tour as a solo artist, and performing with Grammy-winner Deneice Williams. He's best known for his heartfelt improvised solos. Mike's life experience has led him to break down the mental walls between music, philosophy, and the mystical. As Carlos Santana once said (paraphrased) - the highest form of musicianship makes people question their relationship with their own divinity. Mike views his progress in music, and specifically being able to express himself with the guitar, as a parallel to his own quest of self-mastery. As within, so without. Is that too esoteric? Because it likely won't stop there...
