A little of Mike Wagner's music biography:
I started studying drums in 1968 when I was 13 years old.
I played drums in countless jam sessions and as a member of several bands over these 49 years.
Currently I am only a drummer, but I am also starting to study the vibraphone and xylophone.
Carl Palmer of ELP and ASIA became my IDOL when I saw ELP in Madison Square Garden on December 21, 1973.
I was 19 years old and since that day, ELP has been my musical passion.
I saw ELP agan in 2003 at the Beacon Theater and ASIA in 2014 in New Jersey.
You can expect a lot of technology, especially special effects, in the concerts produced by GMP!
I have a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering and a Masters in Computer Science.
At the age of 63 I am resolved to devote my life to music.
It is exciting to be a drummer and producer.
If I don't "make it big" as a musician, then, I will work hard at music technology.
My technology benefit other musicians who want to "make it big".
Besides Music, I will spend a little time making a few more buck$ on
