After many years of performing as a solo act, Mikey Needleman recruited two more musicians to converge for one purpose: to bring Mikey Needleman music alive in a way that fans have never experienced before.
The Mikey Needleman Band was formed in the Summer of 2006 and quickly gained much recognition and praise from critics. The band is made up of Mikey Needleman on Guitar and Lead Vocals, Bill Hurrelbrink on Bass
and Brent Owens on Drums.
Mikey and Brent had been working for many years together, but nothing came of their colaborations until recently.
Bill And Mikey had shared stages many times in the past in different projects so the addition was a natural one.
All of the members have been very active in different aspects of music all of their lives, so the chemistry between all three members yields ecclectic ideas and sounds. With open minds, The Mikey Needleman Band approaches music in a
way that many other succesful bands approach music; anxiously persuing a connection between the music and the fans.
The Mikey Needleman Band plays covers, requests AND originals!
From June 1st, of 2006 Six to June 1st of 2007, Mikey Needleman has been booked over 130 times!
