From his Myspace page:

Mike's debut solo album, Sway, features several talented musicians from the Columbus, Ohio area. Guests include Ward Scott and Robb McCormick of The Shantee (bass/keyboards), Jerry DePizzo of O.A.R. (saxaphone), Megan Palmer (violin), John Zuck (bass) and Dave Weissman of Dark Star Orchestra (mandolin). You will often see several of these artists, along with others, at many Mike Perkins shows.

AnHonestTune.com says, "Mike sings as he illuminates the shining light of love that beams through us all. Scat singing, strumming his acoustic, and carrying his festive numbers through several different musical phrasings, Perkins' performance launches himself into the hallowed category of artists on the fringe of breaking out to a wider audience." Relix Magazine (May/June 1999) quotes, "In Mike Perkins, the group has a distinctive singer while the band rocks along with integrity and class." .
