Indie Rock Den: High Octane Music Performance Camp Hi, I'm Mike! Welcome to IRD, a performance camp for intermediate to advanced players who want to sharpen their individual and group live skills. Here, we learn to connect and create a more telepathic musical experience with other musicians.

What you'll work on....... Confidence and stage presence Knowing your gear like a pro and handling tech adversity Song arrangement and dynamics Rhythm, timing, tone, and feel Communicating with your audience

How it works........ Over 4 Thursday evenings at El Diablo Amps & Guitars in NE Minneapolis, you'll pitch, vote on, and curate an impactful set of songs from your favorite Alternative, Indie Rock, and Americana artists. The set averages about 6 songs.

What you get..... Weekly custom instructional videos and PDF charts to help you learn and execute each song A 24/7 text thread with me for any music question, any time. You won't find this level of personal support at other rock camps in town. A professional gig at a cool indie rock venue at the end of the 4 weeks, where you'll play as a well-oiled machine under an original band name

Your coach....... I believe in being a thorough and compassionate coach. With thousands of gigs behind me in many genres and on every kind of stage, I bring a unique perspective as both a bandleader and a session musician. I'm here to help and inspire passionate musicians who lean on music as their sanctuary and happy place. Thanks for trusting me. I care! So let's rock 'n' roll! Mike P.S.
