Mike McAbee was born in Dodgeville, Wisconsin and moved around quite a bit as a child, eventually ending up in Wittenberg, Wisconsin, a town know the world over for absolutely nothing.
After visiting Nashville, he figured if he started to learn to play the guitar then, by the time he was eighteen he’d be famous. So much for plan A.
At age eighteen, looking around and seeing he wasn’t famous, he decided on college instead. He attended Luther College from 1986 to 1990. His band The PryOrrities played around the midwest during these years.
After nearly graduating, Mike was off to begin his career as a Musician Dishwasher/Misunderstood Genius. He was poor, but happy. Oh no wait. He was just poor.
So it was off to Minneapolis, where he was accepted to Northeast Metro Truck Driving School. During the next eight years, he was off to see America driving, and stopping only long enough to marry, procreate, and get divorced.
The spring of 2000 found Mike back in Decorah, Iowa, where he had gone to college some 14 years before. He decided to quit his job as a Trucker and become a musician.
Mike has been playing music for a living for 12 years now. He lives in Frankville, Iowa with his kids Abe and Lula.
