Mike Latimer is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer from Port Perry, CA.  Growing up with a single parent, facing poverty and homelessness exposed Mike to a different way of thinking about life; of thinking about and connecting with others. Like any songwriter would, he channels these life experiences into themes that deal with the "human condition". A perfect example of this is Mike's "Port in a Storm" - a true story written about poverty, homelessness and the transient lifestyle of his formative years.     Mike's music channels inspiration from Canadian greats like Blue Rodeo, Tom Cochrane, Gordon Lightfoot, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, Ian Thornley, Colin James, Jason McCoy, and The Hip.  "Warm, reflective guitar‑driven singer‑songwriter with a country tint."    Mike Latimer is a singer‑songwriter that blends country, soft rock, folk, and a bit of blues. His guitar-driven songs feature themes of reflection and earnest storytelling. He smooths the genres by taking their roots and forming a unique branch of his own— intimate, clean, contemporary production and emotionally direct lyrics rather than leaning fully into any one tradition.    Mike's writing and arrangements place his voice and the story in front. His lyrics draw from life experience and observation, aiming to be personally meaningful and resonant. They point to relationship narratives, conscience, values, coping, and encouragement—grounded, relatable topics.     Mike focuses on carrying the narrative and feeling, and supporting the confessional storytelling angle—like someone talking directly to you rather than performing at you. His tone is warm and approachable.  Vibe: “front‑porch” warm. Gently uplifting, and contemplative. Feels like driving‑at‑dusk or a quiet moment with someone you care about; modern and clean but still rooted in traditional songcraft. His songs sit at the overlap of country‑influenced singer‑songwriter and adult contemporary—intimate and reflective."   Stay in touch with Mike on the socials to hear about his music releases, and where you can catch him playing live.
