Mike Bustin has been performing as a professional musician in the midwest and southeast for over a decade. He performs on average about 225-250 shows a year. Mike has the ability to cater his performances to just about any clientele because of his vast song list, and the ability to read and understand a crowd. "I'd say the compliment I get that makes me the happiest is when someone says they love how I jump around from genre to genre, and decade to decade." It isn't out of the ordinary for Mike to jump from a 70's singer-songwriter song, to a popular pop song on the radio today, to a 90's country song, to a 50's classic, then a TV theme song. "I really do try and make every show special. I not only want the guests to enjoy it, but also the staff of the venues I play. They're the ones that are forced to listen. So I try my best to keep every gig fresh." That's also why Mike's song list has grown to over 1,500 songs. https://mikebustin.com/home
