Mike Hudson

Overview

Mike Hudson is a singer-songwriter whose alt rock/folk style is loaded with rich vocals (think a young Joe Cocker/Rod Stewart) and bliss-inducing melodies that will literally warm your insides. Seriously, this guy is soulful. His musical influences include John Butler Trio, Sting and the Police, and Cat Stevens, but Mike's style is all his own.

His music has been described as sounding almost familiar, not because it's overly derivative but rather because the composition, the melodies, the rhythm, the voice are just so right that you almost recognise them. Let's call it prescient familiarity. I promise you'll know exactly what I'm talking about once his music has seduced your ears and nestled itself comfortably into your playlist de jour. Just like it's always been there. After releasing his album Enigmatic to glowing reviews in 2009, he is now unleashing his new EP We Live in Colour onto the world, supported by Sam Jones and Kids of yesterday. Beach Road Tuesday night. See you there.
