Episode #2: Mike G.: The Beach Boys- Friends & Miles Davis- Nefertiti

Mike G is a singer/songwriter and dummer who has toured/recorded with artists like Sia, Dawes, Larry Goldings, Belle Brigade, and Theo Katzman. In this episode we discuss Mike G’s wide range of influences across numerous genres and countless instruments.He explains his love for the Beach Boy’s later work and why he thinks it deserves more respect and adulation than it’s long been given. We also talk about Miles Davis' vast catalog and which era of his recording career especially affected the way that we hear music. Mike also walks us through the many jazz drummers that influenced his rhythmic sense and what specifically he has incorporated into his own playing. Mike is the perfect example of someone who sees music as a whole rather than simply through a particular instrument.
