Mike Laughlin's acoustic guitar lets forth a fusion of rock, country and folk, well-seasoned with southwest fire. His music reflects the multiculturalism of his beloved New Mexico with a strong rock base that echoes the pathos in each song.

A consummate storyteller, Mike offers intimate portraits that reflect the universal needs within us all. His angst-ridden vocals spill out tales of pain, love, war, and injustice. Each song will challenge your understanding of life, touch your soul, and stay with you long after the last chord. Don Richmond, who recorded the CD 'Said Goodbye' described Laughlin as having "a wonderful way of taking the most gritty, rooted, down-to-earth settings and characters and painting them in vivid, immediate, often dark colors. He then shows you the grace shining like light through stained glass."

Mike Laughlin's music takes you on a quest for self, for truth, and most of all, for love.
