Mike Viola
+Mike Viola. You probably already know him .. producer, songwriter, the kind of musician your favourite musicians quietly obsess over. Decades in, and somehow he keeps finding new generations to infect. Since 2019, he’s been on a proper run, The American Egypt, Godmuffin, Paul McCarthy, all cut at his LA home studio, Barebones.
Sold out US shows, a whole new fanbase, the usual. Then September 2024 brought Rock of Boston, recorded on half-inch tape over the winter of 2023, with Jake Sinclair on bass and Brendon Urie (Panic! At The Disco) on drums. Viola wrote most of the album on a Panic! At The Disco tour bus, between soundcheck and showtime, sneaking into whatever local studio he could find on his days off.
When the tour ended, he and the band just carried on playing, no gap, no breath, just straight from hockey arenas into the tape machine, which might explain why the riffs feel bigger.
On Friday 13th November 2026, he brings that, and more, to Future Yard. No hyperbole necessary. Get involved!
