Mike Goudreau

about

Born in 1965 in Newport, Vermont into a musical family with an English mother and a French-Canadian father, Mike Goudreau picked up his first guitar at age 14 and hasn't stopped playing since. His early influences included the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and later, Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Powder Blues and Downchild - to name a few. Such diverse interests help to explain why Mike is comfortable in so many musical genres, especially jazz and blues. For the past four years, Mike has been working on getting his many songs published for Film/TV in the U.S. And Europe. His hard work has paid off with hundreds of songs signed to date and placements on such TV shows as : Everybody Hates Chris (CW) , Dirty Sexy Money (ABC) , Army Wives (Lifetime), Kath & Kim (NBC), George Lopez Show (TBS), Justified (FX), Scoundrels (ABC) , Friday Night Lights (ABC), Let's Make A Deal (CBS) , Memphis Beat (TNT) and Hung (HBO) most notable. Also, 32 of his songs have been part of 6 Jazz CD box sets distributed in Europe and Asia with Sony/BMG and Universal . In the early 90s Mike formed the Boppin Blues Band. Taking its name (and some of its style) from Vancouver's Powder Blues Band, the BBB blew into the Canadian music scene with an independently CD - Sold Out 1994- with 10 songs running the gamut from solid Chicago blues to jazz influenced 40s & 50s swing/jump/shuffle and a few country and gospel tunes thr
