We had the chance to catch up with Mike Wheeler. We talked about letting the songwriting process happen organically, the therapeutic aspect of songwriting, and music as an all-inlifestyle. We also visited a little bit about Bertha Grateful Drag that he plays with.

With stintsin Montreal, New Zealand, Augusta, GA, Key West, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Kentucky-- where he was called "hands down, one of the finest WKY singer-songwriters going at the moment" (News4U, 2017)-- Wheeler now calls Nashville home.
