It turns out that there were a few gifts under that there tree. Namely, picking up a few gigs this week. Thankful.
Playing tonight (Tuesday Dec 17th) at the Aviara Resort in Carlsbad and I have what I think is a private event in Long Beach this Friday. It might be open to the public to attend, but I’m not sure. I’ll check.
This is what I learned about life from two separate encounters with a bee | INSIDE my HEAD
Today I was reminded of a story from 8 or 9 years ago. I had just got dumped. I was devastated. I wasn't initially. But, that's because I was in shock.
The aftermath... boy, was that complicated.
What is easier to discern, was that I was trying my very best to take all the hard knocks I was feeling, and to turn that into something positive: art.
I would write on the balcony a lot, in the morning as I drank coffee and smoked—and that's how I met the bees.

Empty Circle (an acoustic album) is now available to stream everywhere.
This is an album that I originally released back in 2018, and made solely available for purchase on Bandcamp, BUT it is now available to stream everywhere you stream music.
There are 11 cuts on this record, either recorded as an acoustic duo with my buddy Tommy Bremer, recorded solo acoustic, or with me playing lead and rhythm guitar as well.
I plan on releasing a lot more acoustic renditions of songs in 2025 for streaming release, so expect this to be the first of many recordings.
Track Listing:
Time Machine
In the Middle of You
Running Away From Home
Gone
Empty Circle
Infinite Jest
Fool For You
Mark Twain
A Man That Can Last
Human
Puppy Love
Mixed and Mastered by Ryan Lipman

Hi my name is Mike.
Believe it or not, that was the very first title I had on an acoustic album that I released, myself, many years ago. I recorded a bunch of music on a Roland VS-1680 with my friend Marcus McMillan. I was a poor college student attending California State University Fullerton. I used to play at this coffee shop (that eventually became a venue) every Wednesday night, called Plush Cafe. Much to my own surprise, people seemed to like my music, and invite all of their friends, and before I knew it, there was a demand for a CD (people used to listen to music on these things called Compact Discs, but that’s a different story). At any rate, I would burn a whole bunch of these CD’s and slap a sticker on them that said “Hello, My Name is...” on them. I would write my name on it in Sharpie, and I was in business. It is incredible how much things have changed now.
What hasn’t changed, is that I write music, and I release that music, albeit on a streaming platform. I still write songs about life—about living—about being a human being.
You can find me on every single streaming service you can think of. I have a full length acoustic album out, as well as an EP and several singles that I released last year, with full band arrangements of songs.
I’ve made a series of videos as well, that I will be posting—and I probably will have other things to say right here, when I have the time to talk more. In the meanwhile, I hope this finds you in good spirits. You can find out more about me here: http://mikevitalemusic.com
