Mike G. is a writer and musician who lives in San Francisco. He began his career with BTR many, many years ago and still hosts the Bay Area Live show to this day, featuring the most killer live music the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer. Prior to that, he was the founder of WireTapMusic, a local Bay Area music blog and monthly video profile series. He has also written for The Bay Bridged and New Noise Magazine, covering everything from punk and metal to rap and hip hop and folk and indie rock.

A committed metalhead all through junior high and high school, Mike's eyes were opened when he discovered Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars and Sleater-Kinney's Dig Me Out at a party while attending the University of Texas in Austin. Now there are no limits to his musical taste -- he even listens to country. Tune in to Bay Area Live every month and discover new music with him.
