Michael Performing 

A NEW DIRECTION

Solo Artist Michael Hartman from Western New York brings serious country vibes to any event, whether you’re planning a party, wedding, or private gathering. As the lead singer, Mike is known for his smooth, crowd-friendly sound and his ability to keep the room singing along. He’s also got serious songwriting chops, with more than 80 songs written over the years.

On the performance side, Mike is a solo show. He’s the type of performer who reads the crowd fast and keeps the set moving, so guests stay engaged from the first song to the last call. If you’re looking for classic country favorites mixed with a great live feel, he’s a solid choice.

Mike has been recognized in a big way too, with Subnormal Magazine calling him “Four Words: The Next Johnny Cash. Brilliant music. The stuff of a future legend!” That kind of praise matches the way he performs: confident, genuine, and built for live audiences.

Whether it’s an event that needs a laid-back singer-songwriter moment or a bigger night with country band energy, Mike Hartman delivers. For The Bash bookings, he’s ready to bring the music, the good times, and that unforgettable country stage presence.

Recording Artist Mike Hartman

Mike Hartman Music

Mike has an array of cover songs to perform at any function that move beyond the 104 Country Band.  

Musician for over 40 years. Mike has been with several bands.  With his first band being Steppin Country from the early 90's.  The Good Ol Boys of WNY,  to his current band 104 Country.  Mike likes rock songs too, but his heart is Country.  You could say he's Country'd Up

His most famous song "Riley's House" was picked up by Kenny Chensey-though it is yet to be recorded, it is exciting to know that Mike is an accomplished writer recording artist.

New Performances

I've been with the band for a while now, but I think it's time to venture out and start performing elsewhere.  More and more I have been requested as a solo artist so this year I am going off to do just that.  This opens up a cashe' of songs that I don't normally perform with the band.  Now I can get down to the feel good songs that everyone loves to hear or tap a toe to.  Never any fear of large or small venues.  I have the equipment to do both.  

I have been running some sound for other bands, but I think my passion is the professional venue.  I've done the bar and restaurant scene, not saying I wouldn't ever go back, but I am looking more towards the other side of entertainment.   

Background or Feel Good songs is what I want to do, and I can be the professional that your looking for.
