Mike Dees is a singer/songwriter from Memphis, TN. A prolific purveyor of Southern-fried power pop and veteran of many bands, he recently struck out on his own and hasn't looked back since.. Whether playing solo acoustic or with a full-on rock band, he always delivers heartfelt (if slightly acidic) lyrics and ragged jangle rock.

Imagine 1970's AM rock (Neil Young, America) mixed with British Invasion and Power Pop (Big Star,Teenage Fanclub, Gin Blossoms) filtered through a ragged dose of distorted bliss (Soul Asylum, Husker Du, Guided By Voices). Like a candy-coated razorblade, these pop gems slide down smooth before the internal bleeding of emotion sets in. With these sugary bitter-pop nuggets, you can't eat just one. Crunch all you want, we'll make more.

The debut 5 song EP "Buried" was released in 2007. The full-length CD "Unearthed" is available now. His song "Fields of Light" is featured on "Wednesday Nights in Memphis", a benefit album for St. Jude's Target House. His version of "Let This Dream Never End" appears on "Sensory Lullabies:The Ultimate Tribute To Jellyfish". His version of the Jellyfish song "Deliver" is on the bonus CD that comes with orders of the tribute. He was recently been drafted by Burning Sky Records to contribute a version of "Flood Of Sunshine" for Beautiful Escape:The Songs of The Posies Revisited.
