Grand Ole Opry announcer Eddie Stubbs once called Mike Webb "A great diciple of Brother Oswalds school of music". Mike learned to play the old time Clawhammer Banjo and Mountain style Dobro from long time Roy Acuff band member(Pete Kirby) Bashful Brother Oswald.The sound and tone Mike brings from the instrument that spent fifty plus years backing the king of country music Roy Acuff takes one back in time.Its as pure as a mountain stream.Mike grew up in rual Tennessee and listened to the Grand Ole Opry as a child.It was the sounds of Roy Acuff and his Smokey Mountain Boys that stuck with him.Mikes show consist of country comedy with beautiful renditions of Acuff classic as well as songs written by Mike.When not working with Charlie Collins ,Mike performs with his Smokey Moutnain Stringband.He has recorded with artists such as Marty Stuart ,Wilma Lee Cooper, Charlie Louvin ,Mac Wiseman and worked with Wilma Lee Cooper, Jim and Jesse, Buddy Jewell, Tanya Tucker ,Lynn Anderson , Little Jimmy Dickens and a host of others.
