Album Notes

Mike Short Jr is a soulful and powerful vocalist and songwriter who possess a maturity beyond his years. His vocal talent, is quickly leading him down the road to success in the country music genre, which is rapidly growing in popularity among the younger generations.

In preparation for a degree in the music industry, Mike created a demo CD singing cover songs originally performed by various country artist. As fate would have it, a copy of the demo CD landed in the hands of Creative Director, Erich Yesse of Single Barrel Publishing. Together, along with Single Barrel's Creative Director, Stan Taylor a collaboration of music, song writing and production began on a new CD project geared exclusively for Mike Short Jr.

This past year, Mike spent his time in Nashville recording at Panda Productions Studio, with an array of professional musicians. His talent was recognized by country artist Linda Davis and Wayne Halper, general manager and head of label operations for DreamWorks Records in Nashville.

We are excited to announce the release of Mike's CD titled "BLAME IT ON ME". Influenced by the sounds of Johnny Cash, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Jason Aldean, Mike Short fans can expect a traditional country sound in songs such as "Two Step" and "I Can Dance" to country rock flair in "This Song's For her" and "Glass Bottles". Not only does Mike show he is a creative writer on his first CD, Mike shows us just how versatile he is with this broad array of southern sound.
