Mike Brun is a NYC-based musician and songwriter. In addition to creating and performing his own material, he often collaborates with Shaina Taub (he makes up one-third of her band, the Shaina Taub Trio), and recently served as musical director for the off-Broadway hit, Mr. Burns. Here, Mike discusses his musical beginnings playing a stolen guitar until his fingers bled, the benefits of musical cross-training, and his relationship with the three cities in which he has resided - Philly, New Orleans, and NYC.  www.mikebrun.com
