Producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, Mike Daly, was a key member of the critically acclaimed band, Whiskeytown. The final Whiskeytown album, to which Mike contributed five songs, was referred to by the L.A. Times as, "one of the greatest rock records ever."
Daly has also written with or had songs recorded by The Plain White T's, Josh Kelley, Marie' Digby, Donavon Frankenreiter and Jessie Baylin to name a few. He has even served on the South by Southwest Music Festival's songwriting panel, "Good Writing, Good Playing". It's no surprise that Time Out Magazine- New York called Daly "One of New York's finest song-slingers". Daly has toured the U.S. and Europe extensively and has appeared on the television programs Austin City Limits, Sessions at West 54th, and the Lisa Loeb show #1 Single. He has also twice appeared on the cover of Billboard Magazine, and featured in many other industry magazines.
In 2008 Daly wrote his first book, entitled Time Flies When You're In A Coma: The Wisdom Of The Metal Gods, a book which the publisher describes as a collection of "Zen Questions, Daily Affirmations, Meditations, and Words of Wisdom" based on Heavy Metal lyrics. It was released on October 28,2008.[7] He writes an advice column for FriendsorEnemies.com called "What Would A Metal God Do".
