Live Review
Mike Eubanks - Solo Artist.


Saturday, January 28, 2006, Mike Eubanks made his debut performance at a little coffee shop on the Southeast side of Forth Worth, Texas.  His music was done solely with a 12-string acoustic/electric guitar running through a Crate amp, and him singing through a second Crate amp.  The turnout of the event, including the visiting customers and on-lookers, there were minimally 12 people in attendance.   The songs he performed ranged from Classic Rock, Alternative, Modern Rock, and even featured some original tunes.  I personally enjoyed the whole performance.  I even caught myself singing alongside him on a couple of the songs he did.  Some of my favorites were Polly by Nirvana,  Black by Pearl Jam,  and Every Rose by Poison.

I found myself every much enjoying his performance.  His vocals were nicely on key with the music.  \He showed a lot of potential and confidence as he progressed into the performance.  I, personally, thought that he did a very good job, and hopefully this will not be the only show he decides to play.  He’s told me he’s always loved those bands and playing guitar.  I’m very glad to see him make some progress with his music.  He can easily go a long way with what he’s doing.  Be assured this will not be the last write-up you will read of this artist.  He has a bright future ahead of him.
