Mike Moran Music

It’s been a while, and a lot has happened. Especially with my music. It’s been two years now since the move to San Diego and even though sometimes it seems like not a lot has been accomplished, you have to keep pushing. Over the past couple weeks I have been able to perform three of [...]

I’ve heard it a hundred times over the last few weeks. “CONTENT IS KING”. Therefore it makes you second guess everything you want to post on your blog. I have come to grips that I will never be someone who feels the need to post something on Facebook, Twitter, or this blog every single hour [...]

Going to be headed back to Traverse City, Mi in June to see some family and friends, get some work done, and do some more shows! I haven’t logged it into my gig schedule yet because I am still getting my info straight. Public shows as of right now are June 11 Porter House Porductions [...]

Over the next few months I’ll be playing during the day on Wednesdays  at the Old Town Market in Old Town San Diego. I have been performing here for a year now and it’s been a blast. I play just to play and hopefully sell a few CDs here and there. Honestly it’s just good [...]

I was invited to come after a small intimate performance at the Taxi Convention back in November. So Thursday through Sunday I’ll be up near Santa Barbara playing [...]

Yes I am a little late on posting. Yes I have been slacking on posting. Do I have an excuse? Not really. I have been racking my brain lately ever since November 6th when I attended the Taxi Music Convention in L.A. It’s one of those things were you go to learn and you find [...]

Excited to perform on the San Diego channel 6 show “In The Morning”. I’ll be performing two songs to promote the Old Town Art Festival shows this weekend. First T.V. performance since moving to San Diego and would like to thank McFalane Promotions for the opportunity.

September was a big month to get back on track for me. I am now on a regular rotation with a few venues and I’ll be gigging six days a week from here on out. I have put recording on hiatus for a month or so, in order to find more regular gigs. You can [...]
