Mike Needer
Mike Needer has been playing drums/percussion professionally since 1990. During his first few years he played with such Baltimore area acts as Justin Sane, Silent Jester, Tinman and even played a couple of years with the popular country band Family Tradition.
He took a break in 1995 to start a family. But, in the summer of 2000 Mike re-entered the Baltimore music scene in an acoustic act called Two Fifths playing mostly dock bars and in the Fells Point/Canton area. The 2-piece act eventually changed their name to The SOLUTION and still plays about 4-6 shows per month.
Over the last few years Mike has branched out, playing with several other Baltimore area bands such as Hot Jupiter, My Boy Blue, featuring Rod Sebastian on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, and his 90's project OLD SCHOOL. You may have also seen him filling in with Mook Jones, Sloe Jim, The Beach Bumz or The Charles Parker Band.
Most recently, Mike has been concentrating on his latest project, Client 9, a power trio covering "Party Rock" tunes. You will hear songs by artists such as Aerosmith, John Mellencamp, Motley Crue, Nickleback, Poison, Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, 3 Doors Down etc.
Mike also owns and operates The SOLUTION Entertainment, a DJ / Karaoke company. You can find Mike hosting a Karaoke Show every Tuesday night at Kolper's in Hampden, as well as working several bars per month and numerous weddings, bull roasts, anniversaries, etc.
Although this may sound quite busy, Mike is always looking for other acts in need of drums and/or Latin percussion! Feel free to contact him at 410-935-3000 or mike@thesolutionrocks.com!
