Mike Ridley is a Michigan based artist whose brand of entertainment combines music and humor. His Michigan oriented parodies have been a staple of morning radio all through the state and his original music has been featured on Michigan Public Radio and Television. Songs from his first CD "Attitude Check" became regular fodder on radio morning shows across the country during the 1990's. His second CD "One of a Kind" included a holiday chart single "Christmas in the Country" and another single, "Michigan Man" which was nominated as the state song in 2000.

This versatile performer was named Detroit Metro Times "Comic of the Year" in 1995 while an independent single "Opening Day," released in 1991, landed him an Honorary Lifetime Membership in the Baseball
Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.

His third recording, a five song EP of Christmas music, "What to Buy Jesus for Christmas" was released in December of 2005.

In July of 2006 he released his long awaited live CD, " A Guy Walks Into a Bar" featuring his parodies, novelty songs and his patented interactive crowd pleasers. This latest CD was put on rotation on XM Radio's comedy channels.

He has been the opening act for national music names such as Neil Young, The Doobie Brothers, Carol King, The Beach Boys, Tanya Tucker, Cheap Trick, The Pointer Sisters and many more. He has worked with comic acts such as Elayne Boosler, Richard Lewis,Tim Allen and NBC's "Last Comic Standing," John Heffron.
