Mike Visaggio is multi-keyboardist and composer of rock music influenced by the Golden Age progressive rockers like Yes, ELP and Genesis, but firmly rooted in classic rock. After a hiatus of almost 20 years away from the business, Mike began seriously "coming back" in 2000 with stints in three Richmond, VA - based bands including the Strokers. But none of them panned out and in 2005 he decided it was now or never, to just trust God and go it alone.
Back in the late 70s he was part of Billy Falcon's Burning Rose, a band that had three albums and an EP on UA and MCA. In fact you can still see his picture on the BillyFalcon website. Mike plays a five-keyboard rig relying extensively on the Hammond B-3 sound and the many, many sounds of the Alesis QS 7.1 synth. His lyric themes are abstractly Christian and his music sound is unique in today's musical environment. Mike is available for other recording projects.
