Mike Kopp is a Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter. Growing up in Pasadena CA , Mike started his performing career in high school with occasional gigs at the world famous folk club, The Ice House. During his senior year Mike came to the attention of the A&R department at Capital Records, recording several demos while learning valuable songwriting lessons.
Mike had a 3 year stint in the U.S. Army. In addition to his duties in an artillery battery he was a founding member of the 82nd Airborne’s R&B group Dragons Fire. The band toured for 18 months as part of a national recruiting effort.
Once he was discharged he returned to Pasadena and joined a duo which performed for over five years at local venues.
After a break to complete college and start his career as an accountant Mike and wife wife moved to Arizona. Once in Arizona Mike started playing again, forming the band, Innocent Bystander. After almost 20 years, and 100s's of gigs the band dissolved.
At this point Mike started his solo career and developed a strong working relationship with one of Phoenix's premier violinists, Tim Sadow. In addition to numerous gigs with Tim, they produced a number of fun videos during Covid (see Mike’s YouTube channel @mikekopp6859). They also produce 2 CD projects. One of those, Out Of The Mist, reached #1 on Amazon's New Age releases chart. Tracks received considerable play on independent radio stations worldwide, as well as glowing reviews from the International music community.
Mike has now stepped back into playing live.
