Mike's Bio

   Mike Kinnebrew engages audiences with a voice that gives chills and lyrics that burst forth with emotion. His songs shoot straight to the heart of each listener. Fans flood intimate venues crossing the southeastern United States to enjoy these passionate performances.

   Kinnebrew's thoughtful lyrics allow his audience to fall in love by creating music that fans immediately identify with. Accompanied by an extraordinarily loyal following of fans, Mike, often accompanied by his band, travels to coffee shops, clubs and universities. The renowned Eddie's Attic in Atlanta is among the places he regularly headlines. It was there that Grammy award winner John Mayer took notice of Mike's music as he took the stage at Eddie's attic. “Dude, you’ve got it!” was his reaction to the songs so many already love. Mike has also had the opportunity to share the stage with CCM artist Jaci Velasquez.

   In addition to the concerts where he performs his original music, Mike travels around leading worship for various Christian camps, retreats, and youth events. His honesty, passion, and genuine heart for true worship are evident in the effective way that he leads.

   From the musicianship, to the voice, to the songs, to the heart…Mike has been blessed with it all and it will take him as far as he wants to go!

- Message board
”It's worship. And by George, it's good. Very beautiful, simple, sing-alongable worship songs with a tinge of southern folk-rock and very warm vocals. Some surprisingly good melodies…he's got the musicality to his sound that other worship acts don't...”
