MICK PAYNE MUSIC UPDATE: Last updated 05/2013. My new recording studio is finally complete as I continue to work on and develop my next collection of music. The studio allows for more flexibility while writing and production of new music. I have included some new photographs of the completed studio. I feel both blessed and honored to now have a free-standing facility where I can create and record without restrictions.
This will be an all acoustic collection of music with the occasional blend of the piano, brass instruments or strings.
Keep checking back because updates will be on-going. Music has been a big part of my entire life and that will never change. A musical legacy for me has a deeper meaning and purpose as I move through life.
The roots of my music all evolved from acoustic writing and performance.
The tribute song to my father, "Soul of a Man" will be part of this compilation.
This project will reflect the sound that has shaped and characterized my
music throughout the years. Feel free to navigate through my web site.
NOTE: If your interested in a CD just use contact space below and let me know.
* I have recently added some music that was recorded in Nashville a few years ago. Although never released, some great music with the Nashville feel. All original, locked and loaded, "Fools Gold" and "Just Loving you" and "Play that Country Music" Enjoy!

"Soul of a Man" The Video (Tribute to my Father)
The CD
Have you ever taken a long trip and then looked back at the miles behind you? It's called life. Along the way, you are vaguely aware that time is moving, Only now you realize how quickly it's passing. The journey is changing everything; shaping who you are.
Mick Payne could not have written Coincidental Day until now. A million memories had to be gathered and tucked away. He had to experience a significant piece of life before he could separate the things that matter from those that don't.
Mick Payne's musical epiphany was influenced by gospel, R&B, pop and the classic sounds of jazz. Coincidental Day didn't just happen by accident. It was inevitable and, as it turns out, a memorable stop along the way.
Coincidental Day is a smooth and seductive collection of eleven original and soulful songs delivered with passion, strength and conviction.
His music is timeless and will undoubtedly find a special place with you.
