Brad Brock came onto the Florida music scene in 2001 with his country music band, Brad Brock & the Renegades. The band played dance-halls, clubs, & honkytonks throughout Florida. They opened for many country music superstars such as, Blackhawk, The Warren Brothers, and Kenny Chesney. The Renegades eventually disbanded in 2007 and Brad, moving away from country music, began focusing on writing and recording his original music.

​

In 2010, Brad released his first studio album, Welcome To Hollywood. With a raw, acoustic driven sound the record generated one licensed track featured on Miranda Lambert's CMT Behind The Music episode. 

​

The following year, Brad Brock took his show around the world performing music on cruise ships. When his last ship sailed in 2014, he began working on his second full-length album, Songs About You (and Every Other Girl). The record produced several live-crowd favorites like, I Don't Wanna Dance, You Used To, & Your Name. 

​

In 2016, Brad began developing his One Man Band Show. Continuously working in new effects and foot percussion, he strived to create a truly full-band sound without using loopers or backing tracks. He currently performs regularly at venues around the Treasure Coast and consistently works to expand and improve his show.

​

2018 brought the release of Brad Brock's third studio album, Once Upon A Bottle of Rum. A dive into the Trop-Rock genre, the record is an introspective on his time at sea. The title track, Once Upon A Bottle of Rum and Yacht Pub are crowd favorites at his live shows.

Fort Pierce, FL native with roots deeper than the mangroves, has quickly become a rising star in the music world. Starting his musical journey in 2020, Mike’s path to the stage is as unique as his sound. 

Trained in opera, Mike’s early years were filled with the powerful, disciplined world of classical music. However, the global pandemic in 2020 changed everything. During the isolation of COVID-19, Mike discovered a new love—blues and soul. This pivotal moment led him to trade arias for guitar riffs, and he hasn’t looked back since.

In just a few short years, Mike has made an indelible mark on the music scene. His performances have spanned over 30 venues across four states, including a remarkable performance at the Vatican. 

Mike’s music, deeply influenced by the raw emotion of blues, the storytelling of folk, and the twang of country, resonates with a wide audience. His sound is a reflection of his journey, blending the classical training of his past with the soul-stirring genres he now calls home.

Since his first gig three years ago, Mike has not only played at two festivals but also released his debut EP, capturing the essence of his eclectic influences. His live performances are known for their authenticity, drawing in listeners with a voice that’s both powerful and intimate. Whether he’s strumming his guitar at a local venue or performing on a grand stage, Mike Faurot continues to captivate audiences, proving that sometimes, the most unexpected paths lead to the most profound destinations.
