About
Hi! I'm Mike Dunbar. I've been working in the music industry for more than a decade, fronting bands and performing solo. While I am currently based in Nashville, TN, I own a home in New England and am frequently available in the area for performances. Every week I perform at corporate events, weddings, bars and lounges, virtual events, and more. I also write and record songs professionally. My performance catalog includes over 500 songs spanning genres and decades. If we work together, I will look forward to learning about your vision for the event and selecting the right music for the occasion, whether that's instrumental guitar background music for a cocktail hour or a classic covers for a fun backyard party. Quotes for my performances include a Bose L1 Compact tower PA system. I provide everything needed for my performance—all I need from customers is a power outlet to plug into.
