Michael Muller (38)

Mike is an innovative musician, bass guitarist, producer, composer, singer, song writer and electric bass/guitar instructor currently residing in New York City. Born in Huntington Long Island, he started his career singing and playing bass for Rock and Blues Rock bands on the Island. Burned out on Long Island and tired of making no money in New York City Mike moved to Richmond Virginia after encouragement from a high school friend who’d moved there for college. Mike took 3 of his NYC band mates with him and settled in the Fan District of Richmond, the Brooklyn Heights of the Mid-Atlantic. The newly relocated band soon became regulars on the RVA club scene and the “White Chitin Circuit” of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. After what can be considered a successful run of 5 years (they actually made money) Mike was asked to audition for the bass spot in the pop rock band "Single Bullet Theory". Mike passed the audition and soon after the band signed a major label deal with Nat Weiss’s Nemporer Records. The band’s first release included three of Mike’s original compositions. The Bullets toured regularly in North America and Canada until the band broke up over disputes with the label. Mike continued to perform with various groups throughout the Mid- Atlantic, most notably his pals The Bopcats. While with the Bopcats, Mike forged his long standing friendship with guitarist and vintage pick-up designer Lindy Fralin. After the Bopcats Mike toured the Mid-Atlantic and Europe with various artists before moving to NYC full time in early 2014. Since moving to NYC Mike has performed and recorded with Rock artists, Blues artists, Country/Swing artists and singer song-writers. Continuing to hold true to his blues rock upbringing you’ll most likely find him jamming or subbing on bass with the house band Monday nights at The Red Lion in Greenwich Village. “Big Ed’s World Famous Blues Jam” the longest continuously running jam in the city. End of August /September 2017 Mike returned to Europe for a short tour (and a well needed rest from NYC) in France and Germany. A special moment along the way was teaming up with long time friends The Liane Edwards Band to do a special concert in Vesoul France for Catherine Fournier (RIP Miss America). Before coming back to the states Mike was in Hamburg for three days playing bass on Oliver Steinwede's soon to be released debut CD. Mike’s current pursuit is his Indie Rock band “Too Many Lauras”. TMLs just completed their first CD so look for gigs and tours from this exciting new song driven eclectic grouping of musicians. Now available for studio sessions, touring, live shows and private lessons. Mike is a multi-published songwriter and is affiliated with BMI in North America and Sacem and Gema in Europe.
