Mike McDougal

Wild Hog in the Woods concert. $2 members, $4 non-members, plus tips to the performer(s).

media release: For Mike McDougal, performing is a way of life. The Arkansas-based folksinger and songwriter has been playing music publicly for more than 50 years. Mike grew up in Chicago and began playing cello at the age of ten. He switched to guitar in 1964, when the Beatles captured the world's imagination. He lived in Madison for a time while working at UW and blessed the Hog's stage many times solo and in a duo with Perry Baird as The Buzzards. Cutting his teeth on the Chicago folk scene of the 1970's alongside the likes of Steve Goodman and John Prine, McDougal has a repertoire from folk to jazz and country, including original songs to make you smile or shed a tear.
