Episode #31 - Mike Webb (US Navy Band Sea Chanters/Gonzo's Nose)

Jams for Man

Mike Webb got encouragement as a singer in elementary school chorus, earned a prestigious award for choir in middle school, and basically taught himself to play piano and guitar through high school and college. After studying music at JMU and starring in an a cappella group there, he went on to Nashville after graduation, but didn’t find his calling until he returned to the DC area. There, he tried out and was accepted into the US Navy Band Sea Chanters, singing the national anthem and other songs at Nationals Park and many other sporting events as well as President Obama’s inauguration. Mike later went on to join one of Northern Virginia’s legendary cover bands, Gonzo’s Nose, and he performed as their lead singer for over a decade.
