Mike River is heartland, road-worn, Americana folk-rock storyteller whose music channels the spirit of forgotten highways, windburnt towns, and the restless souls who call them home. Raised between Boston grit and Wyoming isolation, River writes with the lyrical precision of a poet and the raw honesty of a man who’s lived every mile of his songs.
Blending Americana, alt-folk, and a touch of Springsteen’s blue-collar heart, his music explores identity, disillusionment, and spiritual survival in a divided country. His latest release, “Angst for Nothing” — currently featured as his artist pick — is a haunting meditation on the American Midwest, weaving existential questions with striking, imagery-rich verses that echo like headlights fading into a storm.
For fans of Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Ruston Kelly, and the feeling of staring out a diner window at 2 a.m. wondering where it all went wrong.
