Mike Lorenz, guitarist/composer/educator, hails from Bethlehem, PA. For over a decade, Mike has kept a busy schedule as a freelancing performer and educator, leading his trio/quartet in performances up and down the Northeast Corridor on many festivals and club stages. He leads and co-leads several groups, including the Witherbees, MULTI MANSIONS, and THRRR. Having released his first record in 2011, Mike’s latest release, with the Witherbees, was released in June 2021.

As an educator, his innovative mindset and affinity for implementing technology have made him a valuable educator at several institutions. In the summers, he works as assistant director of the Moravian University Summer Jazz Program and SteelStacks High School All-Star Jazz Band.

 

"The musicians bring traditional jazz aplomb and an intrepid sense of musicianship to each of their efforts on the new album, and the results prove both accessible and surprising.."
