Mike Kuster, a musician, releases fresh sounds and lyrics in his debut album “Better Late Than Never”.
Creating music is an art that needs creativity and innovation. The lyrics, sounds, and artists need to be in perfect sync in order to create songs that are remembered for years to come. One such hard-working artist is Mike Kuster who is here to leave an impact with his debut album, “Better Late Than Never”. The studio musicians for this album are Chris Condon on guitars, Caleb Mundy on bass, Michael Cleveland on fiddle and mandolin, Smith Curry on pedal steel guitar, background vocals on “Monocacy Mud” by Hannah Anders, Gary Carter on pedal steel guitar on “The COVID Floor”, and Dr. Ford playing piano, organ, drums, and background vocals. Dr. Ford produced the album.
His song “Daddy’s Blue Jean Jacket” was released in summer 2021 which is also from the album. This song really captured the heart of country-folk which was also awarded “Country Song Of The Year” by the Independent Music Network’s 2021 Awards which were announced this month. The song was #1 on the IMN Country Charts for over a month.
The Musical Rollercoaster
Mike has been interested in music since a very young age. He started singing in the church choir as a child. After having encounters with a friend who has a country band, Mike realized that he wanted to play a fiddle while he was still in the 4th grade.
In college, he worked the exciting job of a disc jockey and embarked on the journey of penning down words into songs. After college, he performed for small events and gatherings but chose to take a full-time job and settle down with his high school sweetheart and raise a family.
During the Covid-19, Mike again started sharing his music on social media. His stellar music started reeling in a great response from family, friends, and strangers alike, and that rekindled his passion for creating music and that’s when he got in touch with the producer, Dr. Ford, in Nashville. They spent the past year producing Mike’s debut album, “Better Late Than Never”.
Songs That Help People Connect
Mike relates realities to his music. During the ordeal of the pandemic, his wife Emily was assigned as an RN in the hospital, and seeing her handling this stressful situation, he created the song “The COVID floor”. This song helped people console and go through difficult times in the COVID. People also encouraged him to create more songs.
With the pandemic scenario opening up, Mike looks forward to performing live at concerts and events. He wants to express his feelings through music. He loves traditional music and connects to it on a deep level. With his new album already out, he has started working on another one and is set to provide back-to-back entertainment.
