Nashville Nights
Mike Mentz is a pop/rock singer-songwriter and traveler from Nashville by way of Chicago. Influenced heavily by travel and the people and places he has experienced around the world, Mentz composes catchy pop songs with a care and precision not often heard. Named “One To Watch” in late 2012 by the Nashville Songwriters Association International, Mentz is frequently hosted as a featured songwriter at the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. In love with traveling, Mentz's sound and lyrics are shaped by the always-changing world around him. From living in Paris playing guitar on the banks of the Seine in between crepe breaks to two years of international touring on a cruise ship through the Caribbean, Baltic, and all over Western Europe, Mentz has gotten a good jump on globetrotting. He has performed in over 25 countries, and his last 15 recorded songs were written in 12 cities including Chicago, Paris, Cozumel, Helsinki, Dublin, Barcelona, Tallinn, and Nashville. With a lot more to see, Mike is focused on connecting with fans all over the world and taking his tunes to cities both foreign and familiar. Follow Mike's music and travels on Twitter at @mikementz.
