MIKE BRIDGES MUSIC

ABOUT ME

My writing style is influenced by experiences and observations about living life in the country.

I believe your past and present environments and experiences influence heavily as to what type of songs you write about. Georgia and Alabama have been home for all of my life and that has allowed me to garner a lot of writing material.

My influences have mainly come from the country, country/rock and classic rock genres. Too many artists and bands to mention.

Lastly, my goal is to get just one charted hit out of this songwriting hobby. If I can do that, my journey will be complete.
