About / Biography

The Mike Hudson show has 3 units.
1. The ONE MAN SHOW. Which consisits of Mike on the saxophones and flute with backing tracks.
2. THE DUO, which consisits of Mike on Sax and Flute and another person on French Horn, muted Trumpet and flugelhorn. Or Mike with a Pianist. Or Mike with a vocalist.
3. THE TRIO. which consists of Mike on sax, keyboardist and Vocalist. We all sing. We play live to prerecorded backing tracks. Which gives us the sound of a full band.
There are various combinations to choose from. We are perfect for most events. Performing timeless jazz standards from the Great American Songbook or the more contemporary Smooth Jazz of today. We can also pump out the footstomping dance anthems that keep the dance floor packed. Whichever you prefer. Or maybe you would like a mixture of them all. We use top of the line equipment to insure the best sound quality. We play at a volume level whereas it doesnt become a task for the guest to converse with one another especially if its a dinner set. We also provide our own lighting if needed. Mike Hudson and his musicians have performed and or shared the stage with some of the industries greatest performers including The Temptations, Martha and The Vandellas, The Floaters, George Benson. Alexander Zonjic, Earl Klugh, Aretha franklin, Kenny G, Roy Ayers, The Dells, The Dramatics, Enchantment, Bob Seger, Average White Band, The Contours, Smokey Robinson, The Miracles and the list goes on. The Mike Hudson Show is dedicated to giving its clientele a lasting memorable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Its impossible to say what the best gig or what the best venue is. There are so many great gigs and venues. I could name a few such as Chicagos Tastefest and Bike the Drive Chicago.

Wherever there's mutual love between the performer and the crowd.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Most of my experiences as a musician are good ones. They outweigh the bad ones. I became interested in becoming a musician when I was listening to my cousins jazz albums. So at 15 years of age I began playing the saxophone. Did my first gig at 16.

Jazz artists and R&B/Motown artists have had the largest influence on my playing. I couldnt say what the greatest song of all time is. There are too many.
