— Al Bowman, Music Xray

“Mike, you are absolutely fantastic and I LOVE your sound, your voice, and this song!! I'm going to keep you on file because I love your attitude as well as your music. Our docket for this genre is currently full but will open up later in the year and I will revisit this track, yet for now I'm turning it back into the ethers, out of fairness to you, because there may be a label you could snap you up quicker than we're able to. Bad for us :( -- but better for you! I wish you nothing but the best, and again, I absolutely love the sound and the spirit of your art. Have a terrific week and thanks for making us Mike Vavrek fans :)! Best -- Danielle / LA Office”

This show is in memory of my wife who passed away July 2nd. While we try to sort out and heal, i want to share some songs she inspired me to write, Heather was my everything... ALL proceeds of this show go toward our 3 1/2yr old son Mikey, who has the best coping skills ever. I thank you all for your support, kindness and strength. This is mind-numbing, but somehow music pulls me through.. (::)
