Mike Salas is transforming from one of the best-kept secrets in the Los Angeles basin to a diverse performer in four different musical worlds. You can catch Mike in one of his many area concerts or contact Mike to get copies of his recordings or to get on his e-mail mailing list.

Mike is performing singer/songwriter acoustic guitar and vocals in the Los Angeles area. He also has been deep at work recently on some new composed songs using the latest in digital music technologies -- and is getting more and more excited at the possibilities. Check out samples of his music at this link.

Satellite Dogs, an alternative rock band, has been together since the early 90's, initially playing acoustic in cafes & some pubs in LA and Orange County. Mike provides energy in this mix, playing electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica, and vocals. Their style -- melodic mid-tempo sprinkled with roots rock, a little psychedelic, and punk rock. They have added drums and went electric, playing in highlight clubs including The Roxy, Fais Do-Do, Molly Malone's, and DiPiazza's. They are finishing their first album, Showdown at Big Dalton. Concert info also can be found at MySpace.

Mike can be found around town playing with The Osco Fiasco, showcasing late '70s punk rock-influenced music. Check this link for upcoming concerts when they are announced.

Along with Gigi Johnson (www.gigiandmike.com), Mike continues concerts and TV shows to enjoy folk and folk-rock with families -- both old traditional songs and new original tunes. Mike, who teaches during days for more than a decade, also has been appearing on KCET-TV's A Place of Our Own for two years now as a guest on music and other topics for kids.
