Mike McCarthy is an Australian singer/songwriter and music producer.
Threading together the elements of dirt box blues with open-sea folk, McCarthy’s music is a wild, yet ever soulful, meditation on life.
His 2012 album, THE LION’S SHARE, is a career defining work, filled with life giving lyrics and joy infused music. As well as extensive tours of Australia, Japan, The UK and USA, McCarthy’s music has featured on films such as "Stoked & Broke", "Seaworthy", "Lines from a Poem" and "Alaska Sessions."
He is recognized as one of Australia’s hardest working independent artists.
“Mike McCarthy is a unique songwriter who speaks from the soul. He has the respect of his peers and is one of the hardest working local artists.”
