Mike 'The Drifter' Flanigin is a shining light of the Texas music scene… as a player, singer, songwriter and Grammy-nominated producer. He’s performed around the world… from dancehalls and beer joints across Texas to Madison Square Garden, Royal Albert Hall, The Grand Ole’ Opry & The Montreux Jazz Festival.
Originally from Denton, Texas…Mike has been part of the Texas music scene since the early 90’s. Backing up, and learning the tricks of the trade, from many of the original legends along the way.
In 2009, Mike teamed up with Jimmie Vaughan and formed an organ trio that continues to this day. The results of which can be heard on ‘Live At C-Boys’, The Jimmie Vaughan Trio featuring Mike Flanigin. Texas-sized jams with Billy Gibbons led to their own trio dates, ZZ Top sit-ins (including an appearance on the ZZ Top ‘Live At Montreux’ DVD), Billy’s first solo album Perfectamundo and touring band The BFGs.
Flanigin’s first solo album, The Drifter was released in 2015. Rolling Stone Magazine called it a singular vision “…with Flanigin creating his own version of atmospheric Americana.”
Flanigin’s 2023 release, ‘West Texas Blues,’ is 10 cuts of deep blues from the Lone Star State
In 2025, Flanigin gathered the best of the best in Bluegrass- Ronnie McCoury, Rob McCoury, Mike Bub, Alan Bartram, Deanie Richardson, Christian Ward & Guthrie Trapp for ‘The Bluegrass Recordings’, which included WHEN MY BABY PLAYS THE CANNONBALL, SHAKE IT FOR ME BABY and CANDY KISSES.
