Canadian born Mike Beale started out his musical career in Fremantle Western Australia.
Learning his craft, Mike played in and around the cool and bohemian, alternative port city of Fremantle, Western Australia. Developing from early days a unique style, heavily influenced by seminal 60’s 70’s players of the like of Robin Trower, Gary Moore, Jimmy Page.
Early days found him playing a lot of gigs acoustically, opening his eyes and ears to the tone and simplicity delivered by an acoustic guitar. Something that’s stayed with him throughout his career.
Mike played the local scene for several years culminating in the release of his first album Breakaway.
Not long after releasing that first album Mike left West Australia for greener pastures which found him playing in places as far apart as Vancouver Canada, Canberra and Cairns before eventually ending up on Queensland’s sunny Gold coast.
Forming the original Blues rock 3 piece Men in Blues in 2005 saw Beale touring and releasing material again. Playing many of the country’s better known blues/roots festivals including the Australian Blues Festival, Queensland’s Blues on Broadbeach, Western Australia’s Bridgetown Blues and the Gympie Muster.
The cd Battered and Bruised released in 2007 and backed with national touring commitments saw several Beale original songs released overseas on the BAR blues and roots Australian compilation cds. Internet radio coverage also saw Mike’s original song “Lost” as the number one requested tune on Midnight Blues Radio in France.
