Mike Tompa has walked in all avenues of the music scene. Starting young as a classically trained violinist, his focus soon turned to the double bass. From a young age, Mike has been a member of multiple youth orchestras, fiddle groups, swing and jazz bands. He is currently a member of multiple bands (First Ghost, Deadwinter, Pine Pitch, etc) and has toured North American as vocalist, guitar and keys player. Mike keeps his classical training alive as a session string musician. His latest performance venture has lead him to becoming a staple on stage with Canadian band Silverstein. He had the pleasure of touring not only North America, but Europe, as well as playing with them in their livestream performances. His vast experience in so many genres of music allows Mike to bring a well rounded and multifaceted view to each session he is on, both as a musician, writer and as a producer.
