Mike Ogletree (aka The Blaxcotsman)
July 15, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Having successfully made the transition from drumming legend with 80’s pop/rock bands Simple Minds and Fiction Factory to accomplished balladeer and singer/songwriter, Mike Ogletree, aka The Blaxcotsman hosts an evening of stories, music, and song steeped in the Celtic culture of his Scottish upbringing.
Mike Ogletree (aka The Blaxcotsman ) was born and grew up in Scotland, his mother was a Scottish woman and his father, an African/American, was from Birmingham, Alabama. His rather quirky origins give life to music with a difference, a sound that is at once familiar yet different and new at the same time, something that can’t be defined without first giving it a few listens.
Having spent most of his time fantasizing about, or being, a musician Mike has acquired skills and experience as a drummer, percussionist, singer/songwriter, guitarist, sound engineer, and music producer. Throughout his career, he has toured and recorded with some of the top performers in their fields culminating in his debut as a solo artist – The Blaxcotsman.
Join Mike and his friends on Saturday, July 15 at 7 pm in the intimate and friendly atmosphere of the basement Speakeasy in the Meadowlark Motel.
