Music with Mike

Hi there, I'm Mike Garbutt, AKA, "The Riff Vandal," and I've been performing either solo or as part of the Riff Vandals, the band, for many years in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. I've performed concerts as a volunteer singer/guitarist/entertainer on a regular bias at the Golden Door Geriatric Centre, St. Norbert Nursing Home, Siloam Mission and at the St. Amant Centre and more.

Set List

The songs I perform will be chosen from the lists below and will depend upon the occasion. For the most part, my public performances comprise of standards and hits from the 20's through 70's, with a sprinkling of my own tunes. I also perform a Christmas concert set. My live performances are dynamic yet sensitive, run for about two hours (including breaks), and are guaranteed to raise a pulse.
