Michael Perry Siler was born and raised in the city of Lubbock,
which is located in the panhandle of Texas. Surrounded by
farming and ranching it is easy to understand Mike's view
of life. To see soil tilled and prepared and a small seed
planted for harvest, you learn first hand the cycle of life.
You must first have a dream, and then water and nurture that
dream for harvest. To witness the saying, "You reap what
you sow", come to life every day, makes quite an impression
on a young man with a dream of his own. Without realizing
it at first, Mike laid his foundation at the ripe ole age
of 8, with his very first performance at a piano recital.
He was asked at the last minute to sing "Home on the
Range". The positive reaction from the audience hooked
Mike for life and he has never forgotten it. Entertaining
has been in his blood ever since, fueling his quest for stardom.
After several years of piano lessons, Mike decided that the
guitar would allow him more flexibility for his on stage performances.
After high school, Mike worked as a fireman for the City of
Lubbock. While on the fire department, Mike honed his skills
as a rhythm guitarist and vocal stylist. Mike gained inspiration
through the music and talents of Ray Price, Faron Young, George
Jones, and Johnny Bush.
Mike and his wife Vicki moved to the Austin area and started
"The True Country Band". Mike and his band performed
all over the Texas Hill Country area and developed a very
impressive and devoted following.
In 1996 Mike and his family made the big move to Nashville,
Tennessee. He has been polishing his chops as an entertainer
by playing for tips to large audiences at "Legends Corner",
the premier night club for live country music.
It is no doubt that through his patience, focus and determination,
Mike Siler will soon become a household name. |

Musical Memory:

I was asked to sing on the Midnight Jamboree as a guest of Darryl
McCall's. I was told that because of advertising and other guests
they only had time for one song. After singing, the audience's
reaction was so overwhelming, I was asked to sing another song.

Inspirations:

George Jones, George Strait, Faron Young, Johnny Bush, and Ray
Price
Best Gig: When I was playing with my band in Texas, the clubs
would have us open for the current stars that were touring in
our area. One night we opened for Rhett Akins after his first
single went top ten. The house was packed with screaming college
kids. We got an all-star treatment, from having them kept off
the stage to leaning onto the stage and grabbing our boots and
jeans. Cameras flashed, women screamed and sang every word right
along with us. We had to exit off the side where the other band
and security were lined up giving us the experience of stardom.
IT WAS AWESOME! I was also honored by having my song, "Man
of Clay", chosen by Robert K. Oermann to be featured in
Music Row Magazine with a positive write-up.
