The Mike Kuk Show "Chief of the Keyboards" Keyboardist from Anacoco, LA

The Mike Kuk Show is a one-man-band musical entertainment act that utilizes the latest in keyboard, drum machine, and synthesizer technology. His unique work with state of the art keyboards and drum machines has created the sound of a five-piece band with a real Hammond organ and Leslie speaker. What is actually happening here is that he has taken and made the “Nashville” sound truly “portable.” The whole show is full of his unique customized music, thereby technologically producing a unique live sound for any musical venue. His musical style is built up around a strong Swamp Pop-Rock-Country flavor. Two unique Zyedeco and Cajun accordions also augment his overall sound. His exciting musical selections have easily pleased a wide audience of all ages. The music of The Mike Kuk Show has been heard around the world. His military travel duties, and his work as an internationally well-known fire chief, has permitted him to take his music with him in an ambassadorship role. As a distinguished and decorated U. S. Army Vietnam Veteran Combat Firefighter, he continues to perform at military, firefighter, and civil ceremonies and events across the Nation. He has received numerous awards for his musicianship, and is recognized as our country’s top performing Firefighter-Musician. Back in the 1970’s, he was nicknamed the “Chief of the Keyboards” during his countless musical performances in the southern venues of Louisiana and Texas. Thus, this unique title has become a distinct part of his musical stage trademark. He is a lifetime member of the American Federation of Musicians, Locals 67, 79, & 116, serving as a proud Union member since 1965. He also sits on the Executive Board. In 2006 he was inducted into the 50-60’s Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame with his 1960’s band the “Union Jacks”, of which he was the organist and leader.
