Mike Grosshandler, a.k.a. Mike G., a.k.a. “Harvey”, has been making a name for himself in Albany, NY since 1997. He is currently singer/guitarist for the Albany-based rock band The Velmas.
While The Velmas has been his main musical project the last few years, Mike has also been busy writing, recording and performing acoustic material. Over the last few years, he has produced several acoustic recordings on his own. The original intent was to have some kind of demo for himself of each song he’d written.
Using only a single microphone and his home computer in his free time, Mike began putting together the tracks for these songs. After receiving some positive feedback from those he played them for, he decided to release these recordings as a proper CD. The first of these appear on his debut solo demo/album, Scales (2003). Mike released his second CD, Wrote Myself, in October of 2004.
Mike is currently working on a more ambitious project to follow up his previous releases.
Mike has been voted “Best Local Solo Musician” and “Best Local Producer” by readers of Metroland.
Mike began his musical endeavors with the Long Island based alternative/grunge rock band State of Nowhere. SON existed long enough to release one CD (State of Nowhere) before splitting up in 1997, its members going on to various projects. Mike moved to Albany and joined up with the band pour.jayce, with whom he lent his guitar skills until 1999. That year, Mike and other former pour.jayce members Figaro and Bruce reformed as The Velmas.
