Mike was my very first Friend at Reverbnation and he
is a hoot! His Music isn’t bad either, his band is actually himself hence... Michael
Hartman AND the Appendages as he plays all of the instruments himself… and he
sings too! His newest Album is also available at his Reverbnation Store.
Mike also collaborates with an
extremely talented young gentleman Mark Hoevet who came on board with Devotions Recording
in our first year. Now Mark’s Bio makes a bit more sense here. Mark is a Musician\songwriter
from Central Nebraska. Many of Mark’s influences,
leans towards the electronic Pop\rock genre without losing the versatility of
different sounding material. A variety of his songs have a different influence
and sound... After many years of traveling and playing in many different style
bands, he’s content with writing and recording at his home studio.
Mark has a broad range of music
interests and heroes. He likes anything done well, and appreciates many
different artists and bands and their talent. Mark is not zeroed in on listening
or writing one type of music and is very versatile. Everything you hear is done by Mark on his Korg Triton 76 and Yamaha MO8
keyboards and recorded in his 32trk basement studio, a pretty basic set up that in my opinion yields amazing work. I
was so amped when I got to do a Video for these guys! So here it is…
In being called the "Dynamic Duo" Mike would be Batman although much wittier and I'd be Robin, even though I wanted to be wolverine...Working with Mike is a true pleasure and I'm very lucky to be good friends with him..Many songs, I've sent the music to him and in a couple of days he sends back a whole song with beautiful lyrics, and those wonderful vocals he has...It's been a journey that isn't over yet...And if it wasn't for Shade, and Jodie and the hard work they've done the exposure wouldn't be there..So a big thanks from me to Mike, Shade and Jodie and the rest of the artists from Devotions Recording, all of them are outstanding artists an people!!! Cheers!! Mark
ReplyDeleteLOL good on you Mark coming in as "anonymous" then signing your name, your a hoot! Much thanks to you and Mike for your continued work with Devotions Recording and Striking Concept Films-Video. Without good material we would not be doing any of this. Blessings Love.
