MikelParis (aka "Michael Paris”) is a multifaceted artist whose 20 year tenure as keyboardist, percussionist, and backup vocalist for the celebrated American rock band O.A.R. is only the beginning of his story. The MikelParis experience is a vibrant fusion of funk, folk, soul, and rock that has him spinning a kaleidoscope of sound. He masterfully weaves the art of “stomping” from his early days with the percussive Off Broadway ensemble STOMP, with his signature “GuitarDrumming” technique, creating a rich musical tapestry. This sound is wonderfully captured on his latest release “GuitarDrumming 01” and includes guest appearances by Vernon Reid, Of Good Nature, and G-Love.

Catch MikelParis live at Watts Brewing on Monday 8/17!
