Description
The Mike Wolk Jazz Group is a collaboration of some of the most professional and talented musicians in the Carolinas. MWJG is led by Mike Wolk, a pianist/vocalist with 12 years of study in jazz and classical music. We are a real jazz group who specialize in that genre and also perform "old school" rhythm and blues, funk, and other material.
We generally work as a quartet (piano, horn, acoustic bass and drums), but adjust this to meet your needs, adding a guitar, horns, reeds, or Lis Adams, our vocalist. Mike can also appear as a solo performer. We have appeared in the Charleston Piccolo Spoleto Festival, separately and with Lady Chablis, The Sumter and David City Opera Houses, The North Charleston Arts Festival (2007-2009), The Cypress Gardens "Breath of Spring Festival" and other prominent festivals in the Southeast. We have also played for weddings, clubs, restaurants, gallery shows, fraternity reunions and just about any event imaginable. We usually travel within a 500 mile radius.
