The Mike Block Band presents an exciting and genre-bending combination of Rock, Classical, Jazz, and many types of Folk Music through original songs, improvisational tunes, and fully written-out compositions by cellist and singer, Mike Block, who has been hailed by Yo-Yo Ma as"the ideal musician of the 21st Century"."Words R Words”, the first album released by the MBB, features Mike’s quirky yet personal songwriting, and sounds completely unlike any debut album by any Juilliard-trained cellist from Kansas that was released in the summer of 2009. The MBB also features Kyle Sanna on Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Mat Fieldes on Acoustic/Electric Bass, and Damien Bassman on Drums/Percussion.
