Mike grew up in Houston until leaving for Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos. Mike has been writing songs since his early teens. In his freshman year of college he decided to pick up a guitar from the local pawn shop, and learn to accompany his writing and singing. Soon after college he left for Los Angeles, California to pursue a career in the entertainment business. Six months later, Mike found himself with a talent agent and making a living in movie production. With his work schedule at about 80 hours a week his music had quickly taken a back seat. Two years later he decided to move to Nashville to focus on his music. Music was Mike’s greatest love as well as his greatest fear. “When you are playing and writing music for people you are letting them into your heart and soul; that has always been a difficult thing for me. Nothing scares me about getting up on stage and doing my thing, but it’s the power of a song from the heart; when I write a song, I want it to move the crowd like it moves me.” After playing the circuit in Nashville, he invested his savings into a demo cd with some of Nashville’s A-List players. He wanted the raw hard Texas sound similar to Jerry Jeff Walker, Steve Earle and Robert Earl Keen, but the producer did not give him what he wanted. “Nashville is over saturated with extremely talented players and singers, but the industry isn’t giving the listening audience a choice of what they really want to hear. There are so many talented musicians in Texas and the folks in Nashville just don’t get it. You know, when a guy like Pat Green sells over 250,000 cd’s as an independent, in Texas alone, then you’ve got to think that the rest of the world is missing out on some really great music.” After spending 3 years in Nashville, Mike made his move back to Texas to get the sound he was looking for. He went back into the studio in August 2002 with Patriot Studio, in Burleson, Texas. The very talented Chris Booher, with Asleep at the Wheel, and Aarom Meador, who also engineered the project, produced the album. “Mike is a talented song writer and vocalist, and his songs are strengthened by his energy and conviction. Mike is a genuine guy who works really hard, and loves what he does. I expect he will have a great future.” Mike released his self titled debut album over the 2002 Labor Day weekend and sold over 70 copies after his performance in New Braunfels, Texas. Mike currently lives in the Dallas, Fort Worth area and is now opening and headlining shows across Texas at the following venues: Gruene Hall, Adairs, The Thirsty Armadillo, Woody’s Tavern, The Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo, The Star of Texas Rodeo, South by Southwest and other local bars, private parties and benefits.

This CD has some of the best players in the industry and shows it. Now with the band Mike has backing him if he doesn't do something special that would just be bad luck. Keep up the good work!!

This CD is a definite sign that Mikes music and songwriting has evolved. I liked the old music as well dont get me wrong, but this is evolution!! Keep it up Mike. Keep digging up whats inside of you, but make sure there is a pencil handy when you do. Your songs get a little deeper every time I hear a new one. The new band is great too. Thanks for letting us into your world!!

I have both CD's and the live "Bootleg From Poor David's" album. Mike and the Guys have a really unique way of mixing in-your-face Texas Country with old-school Southern Rock. There's heart and soul in the lyrics and real TALENT behind the instruments. This is a great road trip CD... Now how about a DVD?!!! Hey James seek help for penis envy.

Mike is awesome! He loves it on stage. You can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice, and the big smile on his face! He writes from the heart and it shows!

"I want to hear Mike Mancy"! "I want to hear Mike Mancy"! That's all I ever hear when I am in the car. My two sons love this CD, my wife loves this CD (and Mike also), and now I love this CD. When is the next CD scheduled for release? Keep the tunes rolling guys!
