NEW!  NEW!  NEW!

The pandemic of 2020 has brought a lot of changes - first there were no gigs, then a few solo gigs, and now some band gigs can happen.  Mike is excited to begin a new project featuring some terrific musicians and excellent songs you already know and love.

Gunner

Featuring Julian Porter (guitar), Don Mallot (vocals), Mike Powers (bass), Richie Stigberg (drums) and Mike McMann (guitar)

Gunner is an Albany, NY based southern rock band.  They perform the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, the Black Crows, Tom Petty, Robert Cray and more.  This band has been rehearsing throughout the pandemic and is ready to take on 2021.  It's been decades since Mike and Julian have performed in a band together - it's a guitar combination not to be missed.

The Nellies

Featuring Peggy LeCuyer and an ever changing cast of players featuring Kevin Maul, Gene Lemme,

Karen Ann and Mike McMann

The Nellies are  an Albany, NY based hard driving, modern bluegrass band.

The Nellies perform and combine a mix of originals written by various band members and well chosen covers performed by Fred Eaglesmith, Donna the Buffalo, The Grateful Dead, Kasey Chambers, Gram Parsons, Abigail Washburn, Bob Dylan and Gillian Welch as well as the inclusion of some favorite, traditional bluegrass songs.  

The Doornails

Featuring Ted Hennessy, Gene Lemme and Mike McMann

Venturing down from the hills east of the Hudson, this talented trio mixes the elements of old style blues and bluegrass into something new, different and slightly warped.   The Doornails deliver a memorable collection of ‘tongue-in-cheek’ originals with obscure covers and a few familiar ‘warhorses’.  All of their songs come flavored with some twang, a little soul and a lotta chops.  The stellar musicianship of Master-Flat Picker, Mike McMann and longtime harp blaster/songwriter Ted Hennessy shine when this trio rips through a set.  All the while, ‘Geno’ Lemme on the stand up bass keeps The Doornails from veering off too far off into the ditch.

Solo

Mike McMann

Mike is often found playing solo and is always available to book solo - with his large repertoire he is able to plan a solo event to fit most requests.

Weddings and Special Events

Featuring acoustic solo/duo, rock and roll, traditional or bluegrass​



Mike McMann is a cherished part of many wedding memories throughout VT, MA and NY.  From playing instrumental, acoustic music in the church to rocking out the reception with a full rock band, Mike can put together the perfect musical accompaniment to your special occasion.  He has played weddings, graduation parties, engagement parties, retirement parties, even a 90th birthday party!  Contact Mike via the contact page to make such arrangements - please note that such events should be booked several months in advance!  ZOOM concerts can be booked as well.
