Biography
2012 Elm City Music
"Heartland
American Rock n' Roll in the tradition of Tom Petty, Matchbox 20,
Greg Kihn, et al."
...Written by some creative label exec...
What the HELL does that
mean?
...
To make music your life
for over 10 years, it's not just a beginning and an end, it’s
a career...just writing, recording, and playing music for a living
is what makes miggs who they are. You could line up the milestones
of a road traveled: playing “Good Morning America,”
touring over 150 dates a year, touring with artists like Plain White
T's, KT Tunstall, Cowboy Mouth and more, playing unique one-off
events with artists such as Aerosmith, Meat Loaf, Maroon 5, Train
and more, having two singles break the 80's on the Billboard
“Hot AC” chart, have music played on TV shows and commercials
such as “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” and major T-Mobile
ad campaigns, performing on regional TV shows in all Top 10 DMAs
and 35 other markets in support of tours and records, having your
video for "Let The Games Begin" featuring Lindsay Lohan
get over 750,000 views and be used in national ad campaigns for
all Champs and Foot Locker stores...and finally, having your latest
album produced by legendary producer Phil Ramone and mixed by Jim
Scott.
There is no better way
to see what it takes to make music your Life unless you see it through
THEIR eyes. THIS is miggs through the eyes of singer/guitarist Don

Ramone and Jim Scott – we can’t get to here without
where we’ve come from. We embrace it. We are a band on the
corner of a new crossroads, 15TH AND HOPE.
