Returning to Mandolin Mondays this week, we have California mandolinist Mike Mullins with us to share a beautiful original, "The Forgotten Waltz" on his newly acquired 1923 Gibson H-1 mandola. Beautiful stuff here!



San Francisco Bay Area native Mike Mullins has been a fixture on the West Coast acoustic music
scene for over 40 years. Well-known for his guitar work with the Cache Valley Drifters (Bill Griffin and
Wally Barnick), Mike is a highly-regarded instrumentalist and songwriter and has appeared on over 100
studio albums. In 2014 Mike released his first solo project, “Windows of Time,” a compendium of
Americana styles showcasing a trove of original material over a 25-year span. In addition to acclaim as
a solo and ensemble artist, Mike is widely regarded as a top-tier mandolinist, and spent multiple
summers as an artist-in-residence at the Annual Mandolin Symposium hosted by David Grisman and
Mike Marshall. He was also a featured performer at the 2019 and 2021 Far West Folk Alliance
Conferences.

Mike’s newest project, “8-String Sketches,” a tour-de-force collection of solo mandolin
pieces, was released in 2021 on David Grisman’s Acoustic Oasis Records and is currently enjoying wide U.S. and international Roots and Americana radio airplay. Be sure to check out the new album here on Acoustic Disc's website: https://acousticdisc.com/product/mik...ches-download/
