Mike Winkle: "After nearly 30 years of performing with my dance band, Pressure Point, playing cover tunes and performing for private events, I started to find my own voice and style. That is really just a synthesis of everything that I've listened to and loved. Some vocalists are fortunate enough to discover who they are early in their careers, and bypass the stage of trying to imitate others. It took me many years to develop the confidence to present myself as an artist and not just another “band guy” trying to get over with someone else's sound. I plan to continue to record and perform for as long as humanly possible. I have been fortunate to perform in many of the clubs here in Portland and enjoy the heck out of that! I would love to tour a bit away from my home base and see how the “act” plays outside of my comfort zone of familiar faces and places." ... Read more from the link below!
