Australian singer/songwriter, Mike McCarthy, has contributed music to films such as Stoked & Broke, Seaworthy, Lines from a Poem and Alaska Sessions.

Now with five albums, an EP, and a new album due for release in May 2012, he continues to tour in support of his music.

When not on tour, Mike can be found on the NSW Central Coast, surfing, fishing, teaching guitar or messing about in his home studio.
