The style of MiZ, the band, has been described as a fusion of folk, rock, bluegrass and blues; in short a melting pot blended into what would best be categorized as "pure Americana." The groups' founder, lead guitarist and singer/songwriter Mike Mizwinski, comes from Northeastern Pennsylvania, an area long known for its rich and vibrant talent....

[Mike has play with many bands.] During his time with Gongzilla he had the opportunity to play alongside members of Zappa, moe. Umphrey's McGee, Particle, Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Wanting to form his own band to showcase his original music, Mike used Gongzilla's hiatus as an opportunity to form MiZ. Since it's inception in 2010, MiZ has had the opportunity to open for such acts as Derek Trucks, Bob Dylan, Shawn Colvin, Leon Russell, Blue Oyster Cult, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Railroad Earth, Blues Traveler and more. In addition to MiZ, Mike currently he plays with Jam Stampede (former members of the Zen Tricksters) and Garcia Grass. Becoming well know for guitar skills and solid jams Mike's live performances are what brings fans back every time.
