What do you get when you have 5 horn players, 5 rhythm players and 2 vocalists?  You get Big Mike & the HartBeats.

Our main goal is to have a great time playing music and to get people up and dancing.  We have really enjoyed giving back to the community by playing for worthwhile events such as Relay for Life, Breast Cancer Walk for the American Cancer Society and for the American Diabetes Association.  But most of all, we really like playing music from the 60’s to today.  It is a great way to spend time with family and friends and to inspire those out in the community to revisit the sound of live music.
