Mike Compton has become one of the most influential mandolin players in acoustic music today. His personal contribution as performer and teacher has enriched and helped shape the emerging genres of both bluegrass and old time music. David McCarty writes in the Mandolin Magazine’s article, “Mike Compton -- The Unlikely Icon” “Today, few fans of bluegrass mandolin anywhere in the world are unfamiliar with the work of Mike Compton. He’s taken a passel of influences -- old-time fiddle tunes, rock salt and nails bluegrass, the aching allure of the true Delta blues and even a whiff of Seales and Crofts -- to create one of the most recognizable and respected mandolin voices anywhere. Sometimes, it would seem, you just have to look a little deeper to see the icon within. “
