"Original Mechanical Mouse," although a solo act, is not a traditional folk musician. He has hundreds of songs and has been compared to Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Neil Young, and Jason Molina. "Mouse" as his dearest friends call him, plays a few dozen shows a year. He has an EP that was accepted on Pandora and is recording a new album entitled "It's Been a While" with "Uvulittle Records" Internationally know broadcaster and radio personality Alan Cross has had a webpage up in support of Mouse for almost three years. 

Recently Mother Fools sold out a show featuring Stefanie Rearick, Monica Martin, and Lars Ulvang of the Grammy winning band the Lumineers. This is OMM's fourth performance at the local legendary coffeeshop. Mother Fool's owner, Jon Hain is really great about putting together shows for his customers and friends. Anyone attending this show will have a great time.
