Mike Aubé is an alt-folk songwriter on a mission to “comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable”. Like Woody and Arlo Guthrie before him, he blends humour, a sense of social justice and a love of nature into what Canadian Musician Magazine called “playful and catchy folk…clearly Canadian”.
Mike’s 2009 sophomore release, Cluster Folk, delivers good clean fun with tales of love gone right, love gone wrong and the dangers of falling asleep in front of the TV. Drawing from folk, rock, funk and bluegrass, Cluster Folk is a rambling jaunt that veers a little to the left of the ordinary.
“We really had fun making this record. We didn’t try to mould it into one specific sound – where the song called for bluegrass, we did it bluegrass; where the song called for funk, we brought in a four-piece horn section. But there’s still an underlying folkiness to it, thus the name Cluster Folk”.
In 2006, with the help of his former band Rust Bucket, he released his debut full-length, Aberdeen Street, a quirky collection of upbeat, well-crafted tunes featuring his popular “Dashboard Jesus” and songs about Shakespeare’s love life and a UFO abduction.
With a “voice of smoke and honey”, interesting chord progressions and an easy stage presence, Mike is one of Nova Scotia’s finest performing songwriters. He has shared the stage with some best in Atlantic Canada, including Dave Gunning, JP Cormier, Kev Corbett and Sherry Ryan.
