"The roots of my music have evolved through years of writing and live performance. Time has shaped, seasoned and characterized the music that I love and share."
Mick Payne

MICK's MUSIC UPDATE: 9/2016
The "GoPro" projects:
I've recently purchased a couple "Go Pro" video cameras that have opened up a new dimension to my music. Adding a high resolution video to the music allows for even more creativity.
"Cold Outside" is my first rough take high resolution video. The sound quality on upcoming music videos will be greatly improved. Keep checking back for new uploads.
Cheers all!!
