Opening the Wednesday night show is hip-hop artist mike. (Born Michael Francis Seander), whose musical journey started in 2012 while recovering from surgery at Duke university, where he was an All-American pitcher.  He went from making songs in his dorm room to building a loyal fan base independently & playing nearly 500 shows as Mike Stud over the past eight years, and in the last two years has been building a new sound as mike. His first rise to fame came with the release of his viral single “College Humor”, which he recorded on GarageBand ironically while he was a relief pitcher at Duke University. Wanting to make something completely unique to him, mike. combined his love for catchy melodies & feel-good song writing with modern bounces to make something that feels nostalgic & new at the same time. The sound is hard to categorize or fit into a genre, but easy on the ears & good for the vibe.
