About Pickled Beats

Mike Addyman

Mike Addyman started playing bass on his father's jazz style Gibson guitar in high school. That was the late 60's, and years of school dances, college mixers, and club / house gigs taught him a fine appreciation for ensemble playing and a wide diversity of music styles. At various times Mike played in country, folk, rock, pop, and jazz ensembles (sometimes with the same guys). In 1980, Mike quit performing for 15 years to get married, raise 4 kids, and have a heart attack. In the mid 90s Mike started getting back into music by attending open stage jam sessions around the area. This was where he met Steve and Gary. Mike adores Alembic basses for their tone and looks.

Mike's solid and melodic bass lines are the perfect complement to Andy's pulsing rhythms.
