Services

   We strive for versitility:
We can play a variety of venues and please a variety of audiences. Mike and the Wavemakers can play a 10 or 12 song "unplugged" set that has a "back porch" sing-a-long feel to it, or move to amplified acoustic guitar and then electric guitars as need arises. Call, email, or use our Contact Us page for more information on what we can provide.

Mike is now offering guitar lessons in his studio! 

For Information on lessons, go to the Guitar Lessons page.

 

 

The Wavemakers have three levels of sound systems for using at almost any sized venue:  a small system for quieter parties and get-togethers, a medium sized P.A. for slightly larger rooms, and a larger P.A. for noisy environments or larger crowds.

The set lists are constantly changing as new material is added, but right now looks like this:                                                                                                                                                             


SET 1: (The “Unplugged Set” is an acoustic guitar set of mostly well known, singalong type covers specially put together so the audience can easily talk. It can be skipped for noisier parties if desired.)
