Details:
Mike Lynch was raised in small town Beamsville, Ontario, at a time when towns were small and everyone really did know your name.

He was raised in a family of hockey players, with a hockey coach for a Dad and a great fan in his Mom... Mike was supposed to be the next Darryl Sittler... But Mike's love of performing, singing, and country music had become his true passion.. "I think I freaked my Dad out when I told him I was going to music theatre school, when I was nineteen", Mike recalls.

At the age of 24, Mike wrote and recorded his first album featuring songs like "Christian Girl" and "Outside My Window". This widely acclaimed album received a heavy buzz on college radio circuit, and Mike was soon signed to Page Music, the Barenaked Ladies' label.

In 2001 Mike traveled to Nashville to finish his album 'Shindigg' which saw two top 50 hits on Canadian Country Music radio; "I Remember Everything" and "Round Here (Everybody Knows My Name)".

Mike's sound has a strong cross-over appeal. He has shared the stage with a variety of acts such as Moxi Fruvous, Skydiggers, Great Big Sea, Roger Hodgeson (formerly of Supertramp), Ron Sexsmith, Jason McCoy, Ronny Hawkins, and comedian Dave Coulier among others.

Mike's latest album features new songs from the road - "My Life Is A Big Vacation", "Highway of Dreams", "She Called Me Lover" and the title song "MJL Was Here" - a song about a guy who carves his name in a park bench in Winnipeg, but you'll have to hear it to find out what happens!
