Mike Nunziante
Mike's international touring experience as a multi-instrumentalist extends across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. He is currently on the road with Top-20 country rock artist Meghan Patrick for their Golden Child headline tour in the US and Canada. Prior, Mike made his Grand Ole Opry debut in April 2026 with Patrick after concluding their opening run on Brad Paisley's Truck Still Works Tour in 2025 covering arenas throughout Canada including Rogers Place and the Canadian Tire Centre.
Other notable stages and festivals include Boots in the Park, Cal Expo Grandstands (Meghan Patrick), Austin City Limits, House of Blues, The Fillmore, Hammerstein Ballroom (Public Library Commute), St. Augustine Amphitheater, Toyota Music Factory, Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater (Dispatch), and local venues like The Sultan Room, Club Passim (Couchsleepers), and Rockwood Music Hall (Low Echo).

In South America and Polynesia, Mike has performed two solo tours throughout Chile, La Tapati Festival in Easter Island, and radio shows in Ecuador.
His main instrumental fingerprint is defined by a bottleneck slide guitar sound built from delta blues/roots rock traditions, which he blends into genres like pop, soul, gospel, country, coffeehouse, afrobeats, bachata, reggae, and folk.
Mike was born in Stamford, Connecticut and lives in Nashville, Tennessee. He speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese.
