With fall arriving, it’s time to settle in for some fine music and there are plenty of venues to do so. As with many of our musicians from Midnight Muse Las Vegas – The Book – where Hip Meets Hot, Mike Hepner is doing is share of providing music. Las Vegas has been very kind to new-comer and nationally known “Detroit” Mike. As people started hearing his skills as a master improviser, talented multi-genre keyboardist and exciting entertainer they all wanted him to play with their band! Mike has always felt honored to have played with so many great award winning artists over the years. He is now playing with great bands, including Reno’s LV Roc N Sol All-Stars JAM, “Pearl” a Janis Joplin Tribute and Rheda K’s Jazz Krew.

Every Friday night from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. “Detroit Mike & Friends” host “Band Night at the Summit” located at Sun City Summerlin (2215 Thomas W. Ryan Blvd) in Las Vegas. Friday, October 2nd, they will feature “Southern Stue.” And every Saturday night from 9:30 – 1:00 p.m. they host the Las Vegas Allstar Jam at Joey’s Tavern (7081 W. Craig Road) in Las Vegas.

Mike wants us to know he has released his new Solo CD, Blue Shores, a culmination of amazing improvisational songs showing just how much he loves everything from Boogie Woogie to Blues and from Jazz to New Age. You can find that on his website, www.hepnermusic.com. As with all the wonderful musicians here in the valley, we say, Keep playing! We love it!
