Mike Beck Acoustic Solo
Mike Beck's mastery of the guitar works wonderfully to support his original songs, story telling, and wide array of the American songbook. From traditional cowboy songs , to Dylan and Haggard,and Woody Guthrie , Mike has a deep appreciation of master songwriters. Ian Tyson took him under his wing, mentoring him on songwriting and performing. They remained close friends until Ian's passing. He's performed all over the U.S. and Europe, from House Concerts and barns, to festivals and The Country Music Hall of Fame.
Montana Outlaw Magazine features an article written by acclaimed writer, Toby Thompson.

Here's some links to some samples of Mike's music on Youtube :
"Mike plays the guitar like a Byrd. His strings do things that mine never could do. They obey the slightest finger-touch commands like a fine reining horse." Ramblin' Jack Elliott
"Mike's plowing new ground. He's not re-recording the old Hollywood matinee music from the 30's and 40's. You've got to have focus and keep producing good stuff. I think he walks that.... he's better than all those newer western guys." Ian Tyson
"Mike Beck is one of those writers with the cowboy in his heart. His songs are filled with braided rawhide and mission bells..... Listen up, friend!" Tom Russell
