The Great Rock Opera

From 2005 to 2019, Mike disappeared into the mountains of Northern New England, where he lived an isolated, yet beautiful, organic, and remarkably productive mountain life.

Then, on a memorable, desolate winter’s day in February 2014, with the wind whipping down the valley floor between mountains rising to the left and right, an unusual encounter took place. In that moment, the seed of what would eventually become “The Great Rock Opera” was planted in Mike’s heart, mind, and soul.

What followed was a remarkable creative journey: a ten-year writing endeavor, followed by 24 months of recording and three months of editing and mixing. In total, 147 months of dedication, creativity, and perseverance.

Was it chance, fate, or destiny? We know... you can decide.

There is a story that must be told. There were signs along the way, and unexplainable events that would lead one to question whether forces beyond ordinary human understanding were at work.

Those events will be shared, and that story will be told. But for now, “The Great Rock Opera” (official title to be revealed soon) is a two-and-a-half-hour musical and concert experience of epic proportions, destined to reach audiences around the world.

And if the same forces that accompanied the creation and production of this extraordinary work are present when it is finally introduced to the world, perhaps its journey will be unlike anything anyone could have imagined.

A journey of glorious jubilation, with the potential to become recognized as the greatest rock opera of the last 50 years... and perhaps, ultimately, the greatest rock opera of all time.
