Bringing the energy and beauty of a Cirque De Sole act, Mike Sal’s 1st single off his follow up to ‘Bear Out There’, ‘Best You Got‘ owns up to it’s name sake as it couples former Danity Kane leader, D Woods and Georgia’s street smart Duo, Vintage Nation onto this warm and bouncy dance song that keeps it ‘summer in the wintertime’.
Written and recorded in a hotel room in Atlanta after a storm cast a giant tree destroying his home, Singer/Songwriter Mike Sal’s self-written and produced EP, Bear Out There, is a blending of electronic and symphonic songs sculpted from the fallout of a young man’s journey through the southern city, answering the question, ‘if a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound’?
Poems performed by author Peter Money with original music by Mike Sal (guitar, background vocal, keyboards, and percussion) along with Brian Peck (bass), Ryan Abraham (electric guitar), Owen Grenich-Young (flute), Shane Walton (drums), Alex Haynes-Buob (keyboards). “Post-Ginsberg acoustic-electronic intimate meditative riffs and companionable pared-down House pulses, . . . sunny grooves to drive through any patterned rain . . . illuminated ‘traveler’s spoken journal opera.’???
The song that started Mike Sal’s artist career.
