Rhythm & Brews: Mike Pilgermayer

Guitarist/Singer-Songwriter*   Growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, singer-songwriter, Mike Pilgermayer discovered his love of music at a young age with his first guitar teacher John Oates of Hall and Oates. Mike was part of various bands and spent many nights “jamming” with fellow musicians and playing gigs. After attending Combs Music College, his talent for both songwriting and collaborating with other artists gave him the opportunity to continue to strengthen his craft over the years. Rock, Jazz and Funk all played a part in shaping his music. In 2007, he released his album Settle & Rush with his band SoulQ followed by a solo album Cresting Hills in 2011. After taking an early retirement from Verizon in 2010, Mike pursued music full time and averages over 150 shows each year. A talented and original songwriter, Mike weaves moments and memories into melodies that are both beautiful and powerful. Off the heels of Jonatha Brooke’s songwriting workshop in Nashville, Mike announced the Fall 2017 release of his latest album,
St. Victory, a true passion project come to life.
