Mike
Mantione is the guitar player, singer, and principle songwriter of
the band Five Eight. I've played music with Mike since 1989! We've
been through everything imaginable that two musicians could go
through- breakups, divorces, record deals, losing record deals, van
madness, international flights, anxiety attacks, and gallons of
blood, sweat, and tears. Mike has struggled long and hard to
overcome his mental illness and sometimes he dragged the rest of us
along with him, and yet we all still love each other.
Except for our new album, out now on Chicken Ranch
Records, which you can hear here:
