A message from Mike:
For as long as I can remember, music has been an interest of mine from listening, playing, teaching, and studying.
In 6th grade (2000) I learned alto sax and have stuck with it ever since. I studied saxophone in college. After graduating from college, I played in Twin Cities funk band, PHO. Maceo Parker, Cannonball Adderly, and Ryan Zoidis are some of my favorite alto saxophonists.
The music of the White Stripes made me want to learn guitar in 7th grade (2001). I'm influenced by Hendrix and SRV to name a few.
Choir in high school gave me an introduction to singing. While in college, I gained experience singing blues in the cover band, Funky Gumbo.
There are many mentors, teachers, colleagues, family, friends, and musicians for whom I'm grateful for their guidance, knowledge, and support. Thanks.

Moger, who grew up on a farm found music to be a friend that filled the time and brought joy to his life. In school, he played trumpet, and also dabbled in piano. He didn’t start playing guitar until he was 18. He played through college more seriously. In his 30s, he met his wife and was diagnosed with Stage Five Renal Failure. Music took a back seat to life for the next decade. When he was just months away from turning 40 years old, Moger received a second chance at life, receiving a kidney transplant. Shortly after, his son was born. Moger began playing nursery rhymes on the guitar and found his love of music again, making new songs. With encouragement from his wife, he is back to playing music - covers and originals. What kinds of songs he plays varies greatly. “I don’t know about you but with music, sometimes a song just hits you - like that is my song. Like every time you hear it on the radio you’re going to crank it up. It can be all over the place - country, rock, pop, even some heavier stuff,” he says. You don’t want to miss this show!

On Friday evening, Kayla Daniels, will be taking the stage at Bluenose Gopher Public House for a performance from 7-9 p.m. with no cover charge. Daniels has been performing music for 28 years singing as far West as Montana, to Tennessee, to Alabama, to Ohio and Michigan and many places in between. Daniels writes her own music but also performs a lot of covers. Her sound can best be described as a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. With a lot to be proud of in her musical journey, one thing Daniels is most proud of is having chased her dream all the way to Nashville. “I moved across the country with just me and my dog, and didn’t know a soul when I got there. I lived there for four years and feel like I actually made my mark on the town, which not many that come and go get to say,” she says. “But, as much as I loved singing every day and really getting to do what I loved for a living, the big city life just wasn’t for me and I missed my small town roots. I really stayed true to who I am and that alone is something I am proud of. A town like that can swallow someone whole, but still, whenever I go to visit there’s always a few places that I still get called up on stage to play because someone recognizes me even after years have passed. The last time I was there, someone I didn’t even know recognized me in the crowd and requested I come up and play my original song ‘Bus Ride to Heaven’. That’s a pretty cool high that’s hard to come down from.”
