Mike Anderson
Mike began
his illustrious career as a guitar player at the age of 12. As it goes
with many bass players, his first band had too many guitar players and
zero bass players, so Mike volunteered. He has been laying down the
bottom ever since. In 1997 he formed a band called Big Blue Hearts that
recorded a CD on Geffen Records, produced by T-Bone Burnett. Following
a European tour and opening for Joe Walsh, The Big Blue Hearts cut some
tracks produced by Roy Thomas Baker (of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"
fame) before breaking up. Mike has toured Europe and America, opening
for Boz Scaggs, Lyle Lovett, Lisa Loeb, Dave Alvin, The Blasters, Robert
Earl Keen, and Chris Isaak. In the process he has become quite the expert
on backstage cuisine. Currently he enjoys creating innovative bass parts
for the Cowlicks and working on projects in his recording studio. He
is the Cowlicker most likely to be found wearing Cowboy boots and a
ten-gallon hat.
