**MIKE WEST** (live performance) @ 1-2pm:
Mike will be playing an exclusive RSD solo set for us! A walking dichotomy of genres and styles, West has found himself accepted by music fans from all walks of life with the tongue-in-cheek slogan of – Not Country Enough. Not Blues Enough. Not Folk Enough. Too Heavy – capturing the essence of his music and live shows. His grounded storytelling and existential lyricism combined with the driving rhythms of his guitar have helped Mike build a reputation as an honest and raw musician who can captivate crowds wherever he plays.
