The Baby Boomer Generation was fortunate to grow up with some of the greatest music of the 20th Century. They witnessed the beginnings of Rock n' Roll in the 50's; sang to show tunes from "Oklahoma" and "South Pacific"; surfed, twisted and watusied through the 60's and discoed the 70's away. Mike Healy is one of them.
   
    Burt Bacharach - Dave Brubeck - Jimmy Buffett - Chicago - Duke Ellington - Carole King -  Henry Mancini - Roger Miller - Rodgers and Hammerstein - Earth Wind and Fire - Brian Wilson and Stevie Wonder are just a few of the greats of this era that have influenced Healy's music. But his style is strictly his own.
   
    A serious student of music in his youth, Mike began performing part-time in bands while in high school and continued through his service in Vietnam. Out of the Air Force, he eventually became a full-time professional musician and toured the country for many years with his band "Freeway".
   
    Shortly after leaving the road in the mid - 80's to begin a career in engineering, he found music missing in his life and he began song writing. With almost 30 songs in his repertoire, Mike is back on the road, but this time showcasing his own work.
   
    Mike's versatility is amazing, covering genres from: jazz, rock, country, show tunes, ballads, novelty songs and blues to reggae.
   
    He demonstrates his ability as a lyricist, composer in this CD with his tongue-in-cheek Christmas ballad, "Merry Christmas to Me" and his haunting, dark rock n' roll interpretation of the story of "Faust".
   
    Recently, Mike has appeared in Northern California, North Carolina, the Reno/Tahoe area and New York.
