About Mike Simpson
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I remember singing in my high school choir.
This was the first time I approached music in a more formal way.
I loved the power of hearing all those voices together along with the beautiful harmonies.
Also my first experience at performing.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Dan Fogelberg, The Innocent Age
Jimmy Webb, Just Across the River
Judy Collins, Colors of the Day: The Best of Judy Collins
Dan Fogelberg and Jimmy Webb are my favorite contemporary song writers.
I love the poetry of their lyrics and then how they combine that with the melodies they create.
Judy Collins just has a beautiful voice.

“This Old House”
This Old House is about the house I grew up in.
I love this house and we have been able to keep it in the family for four generations.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Singing on the Mall in Washington DC at the Vietnam Memorial was pretty cool.
Talking with veterans who were hearing my songs about the war was nice.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
Mostly, I would just like for more people to hear and enjoy my music.
