If ever there were an artist whose time has come, Mike Gouchie is it. Mike is a lot of things: single father of four, seasoned songwriter and vocalist, steadfast survivor, and soon enough, household name in the world of country music.
Music has always been central to Mike’s life, a testament to the influence of his late father Ernie, a preacher, gospel singer, and pillar of his northern aboriginal community. While instilling in his son the value of family and compassion, Ernie also cultivated Mike’s love for music, sharing with him the sounds of classic country legends – Hank, George, Buck, and Merle, to name just a few.
After his school years, Mike honed his musical abilities on the road as a member of the country rock band Gunshy. There was only one thing important enough that could pull Mike away from his music – family. Over the next dozen years, he dedicated himself to being a full-time father first. This period of real life experience, and responsibilities, would ignite in Mike a renewed passion for song; a return to his craft was inevitable.
2007 was a year of major setbacks and phenomenal perseverance. After losing his father in February and moving his family back to his hometown to be near his mother, disaster struck. In July, a moose struck Mike’s vehicle while he drove on a highway 20 minutes from home, leaving him critically injured. It was the words of his father that helped pull Mike through: “Never give up my boy!” With a full recovery and a humbled new outlook on life, Mike was determined to put his gifts to use and honor his father’s memory with a return to music – which brings us to today.
