Mike Vial is a Michigan singer-songwriter with the lyrical direction of James Taylor and the musical style of John Mayer. In the spring of 2011, he left his teaching position of eight years to pursue music full-time, playing over 80 gigs regionally in the Midwest. The Lansing State Journal named his EP a “must-have” for 2011 in their top ten releases and his new EP made the top download list in December at
Noisetrade.com. Mike’s gift of literary stories blended with accessible melodies and traditional instruments gives his fresh music a classic sound.
This is Mike Vial’s 1st appearance at Midwest Fest.
