Mike Love
Revolutionary music may seem harder to come by than in the times of Bob Marley, The Clash and Patti Smith, but that doesn't mean the revolution isn't still brewing. Meet Mike Love - born and raised in Hawaii to a musical family that spans generations, Love's music has its foundations in the spirituality and message-based music of Reggae and Rastafari, but also blends the sounds of progressive and classic rock, pop, R&B, soul, blues, flamenco, jazz and so much more.
His live show uses its fair share of technology, including live looping and effects pedals, with everything performed and recorded on the spot. Love has hand picked the best of musical talent he has worked with to form his super band, Mike Love and the Full Circle.
Love's solo shows are an internationally recognized one-man-band showcase, using complex looping techniques, multiple instruments and an array of different vocal and musical styles. Testament to his musical genius, Mike's track 'Permanent Holiday' now has almost 36 million views on Youtube. He has shared the stage with the likes of Jack Johnson, Michael Franti, Xavier Rudd, John Butler, Dave Matthews, Trevor Hall, Nahko and Medicine For The People and Steel Pulse.
His songs possess wisdom and seek to instil change; they are about being conscious and mindful as human beings living among so many other life forms on this beautiful planet. For Mike, music is a form of healing, learning, and growing.
The anticipation is high for what promises to be Love's most dynamic and heartfelt offering yet, with his new album - the first in a series of three - set to launch in 2024.
