Album Notes

Central New York's premier original band, The Mike Estep Band has built a substantial and loyal following with its new CD release "This Machine."

Fans have fallen in love with this engaging mix of stories and emotions flowing from Mike's pen.

From the blue-collar uneasiness with the corporate world in the title track to the crumbling heartbreak of "Falling" and "This Time", and from the call of romance in "Circus Lights" and "Reunion" to the sweet revenge of the "Snowplow Jockey", the Mike Estep Band has again hit a chord with the common man.
