Running Man Live – Mike Nagoda

From the 2014 Release – Parliament by Mike Nagoda.

Unable to play guitar like most people because of his disability of Cerebral Palsy, Mike struggled for years to be able to play. Undeterred by those who said he’d never be able to do it and determined to find some way of expressing himself on the instrument he loved, it was the double slides that finally allowed Mike to express himself freely and realise his dream. Originally trained on Classical piano from the age of six, it was a struggle to even find a teacher who’d take him on. But in the end he persevered, learning both guitar and piano. Parliament is a melting pot for musical diversity, paying homage to both the great concept albums of the 1970s that inspired Mike growing up and the generations of Blues musicians who continue to inspire him today. Parliament is the culmination of years of struggle against adversity, representing not only Mike’s dedication to his craft but also his love of music.
