Mike Antone

Mike Antone is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and audio engineer from the Snoqualmie Valley of Washington State. All of his music is deeply rooted in the folk tradition. As a solo musician, Mike draws influence from the likes of Neil Young, Greg Brown and Particle Kid, while maintaining a highly sincere sound, blending elements of folk, Americana and country blues.

Heavily influenced by the experience of living and growing up in the Snoqualmie Valley, Mike weaves together stories of guardian mountains and sacred rivers. Rooted in the power of place, his songs tell the story of someone who both loves and is loved by his home. Much of Mike’s music feels like prayer: prayer for the earth, for the love of the land, for each other, and for our collective future. At once hopeful and somber, it leaves listeners with a deep sense of what it means to be alive. 

Mike currently resides at the base of Mount Si in his hometown of North Bend, WA with his wife Andrea, daughter Luka, and their two dogs and three cats. Professionally, Mike works for a non-profit supporting people with disabilities with jobs and community inclusion. He is also an independent sound engineer via Mic & Tone Productions based out of his home studio, performs regularly with his band Mountain Ear, and supports the creative lives of himself and his community.
