Mike Mangione

**Mike Mangione** is a Milwaukee-born singer-songwriter and guitarist whose soulful blend of folk, Americana, and blues has carved out a warm, introspective lane in the indie music scene. Known for his rich, gravelly vocals and poetic lyricism, he often pairs raw emotional storytelling with lush, string-driven arrangements. His recent releases, like *Blood & Water* and *The Boxer (The Transient Sessions)*, showcase his knack for reimagining tracks with stripped-back intimacy or expansive, atmospheric twists. Collaborating frequently with his brother Tom Mangione on viola, Mike’s music feels both timeless and deeply personal, balancing spiritual themes with earthy, human struggles.

A seasoned live performer, Mike has built a reputation for heartfelt, immersive shows that blur the line between artist and audience. His *Transient Sessions* series, which includes alternate takes of fan favorites like *Against The Grain* and *Giving Up On You*, highlights his commitment to reinvention and connection. Whether channeling Dylan-esque folk in *Not Dark Yet* or weaving haunting narratives in *Anastasia*, Mike’s work remains rooted in authenticity—a testament to his two-decade journey of crafting music that lingers long after the last note fades.
