Mike Fortier—Lead Vocals/Rythym Acoustic Guitar
Mike was born in Hardwick, VT and grew up in St. Johnsbury, VT. He’s got two children, Mike Jr. and Sheri, and two sisters. His Mom and Dad live in St. Johnsbury and the whole dang family supports his musical endeavors big-time. Mike’s #1 music influence has been his Mom who loves to play good-ole honky-tonk piano. He began music with piano lessons at age 9 and played the Saxophone in the high school marching band. Mike taught himself to play the guitar and began singing country music when he was about 12. The guitar turned out to be the instrument of choice, mostly because Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Carl Perkins, and all the hot-new rockabilly sound was happening. And it was tough to sing while playing a sax!.
Mike often performs solo at area Farmer's Markets, Excursion Train Rides, area restaurants and lounges. |
