There are a lot of musicians out there but not as many that do as much as this month's video interview subject.  It was my pleasure to sit down with local songwriter Mike Gombas to have a few words.  He has been a part of many local collaborations, hosts a wonderful singer/songwriter circle in Chesapeake, has regular shows at Chicho's 29^th Street and multiple other Virginia Beach venues with numerous members of the best of the best of the Seven Cities ... and he's one hell of a nice guy.  So here we go, direct from the 13^th Step (that's the bar in my living room), the Mike Gombas Interview!

By Director, Genre Lead, and Editor: Andrew Wolfe

The Wolfe was born to a small litter in the mountains of West Virginia and transplanted to suburban Virginia Beach in the iconic year of 1984.  Left to the public school system, he soon became immersed in the varied subcultures of suburbia. Quickly he became a connoisseur of the rich substrata of disaffected youth in post-Reagan America.  Having to leave corporate tool-hood behind, the Wolfe prowls the silent alleyways in search of the next great spark of local music - the incendiary device that will reignite creativity in a music world gone wrong (apparently in the throes of Bieber Fever).

And other fun facts ...
