Mike Cross is the best blues singer and musician in Austin, Texas today. Maybe that’s just our humble opinion but you should listen for yourself. Introduced to the guitar in Navajo tent meetings when he was a child, Mike hasn’t put it down since. His music is inspired by his mother’s piano playing, Mahalia Jackson, Marvin Gaye, the Beatles and others and he’s been a fixture on the Austin music scene since 1991. On this episode Mike talks with us about life, music, Austin and what success means to him now.
