Mike Ball of Dr. Mike & the Sea Monkeys and Founder/Executive Director of Lost Voices has an endless streak of creativity, and a passion for creating music that both amuses and changes people. Mike started out in the 1960's rocking it with an electric guitar, in spite of his hidden folk music passion, spent a lot of years doing all kinds of non-music work, but eventually an invite into a detention facility for young folks got Mike to reconnect with his music beginnings, and kicked off his commitment to foster the spirit of these young people through music. With a wry gift for words akin to that of John Prine, he delights, amuses, and inspires through his music.
