What if you could travel the world, play music in every corner, and still find your own unique sound? This episode is your backstage pass into the life of Mighty Mike Schermer, a musician who has done just that. From the influence of legends like Albert Collins and Willie Nelson to the ever-changing landscape of music with the rise of AI, Mike's journey is a testament to the power of playing from the heart. As he shares his experiences of performing across 50 states and 25 countries, we uncover how genuine expression can unite diverse genres and touch souls worldwide.

Mike's creative process offers a fascinating glimpse into the making of his new album, a project infused with memories of Austin's vibrant music scene and the serene landscapes of northern Nevada. With tracks like "Exit Through the Gun Shop," Mike blends serious themes with playful elements, crafting a vintage country sound that echoes the raw spirit of honky-tonk. Adopting the persona of Michael Ray Pickens, he channels the energy of punk rock into the world of country, providing a fresh perspective on a timeless genre. This episode captures Mike's journey from an impromptu session with pianist Chris Landrum to a full-fledged album, proving that inspiration can strike in the most unexpected places.

Beyond music, Mike's stories from the road reveal the unpredictable adventures of a touring musician. Whether it's sharing unforgettable highs like touring with Howard Tate or navigating the challenges of social media in today's digital age, Mike's insights are as entertaining as they are enlightening. As he reflects on the changing motivations of a musician's life, listeners are reminded of the importance of community, self-care, and spreading love through music.
