Mike Severson has been in the music industry for over 25 years, starting his career in Tulsa radio before moving to Nashville in 1993 and landing a promotion position with MCA Records. After a decade with MCA, Mike went on to other promotion and marketing ventures with Rounder Records, All Access Music Group, Midas Records, World Vision Artists, and Yamaha Entertainment. He has accumulated additional experience in management, artist development, branding, and social media.
In 2016, Severson launched Songwriter City, which expertly crafts, customizes, and books premier songwriter-round type experiences for corporate and special events from music’s biggest hitmakers and storytellers. It has allowed Mike to get back to the original reason he moved to Music City – to help, and be an advocate for, talented artists.
Some of the recording artists Severson have worked directly with or for include: George Strait, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Trisha Yearwood, Marty Stuart, Lee Ann Womack, Wynonna, Jason Aldean, Gary Allan, The Mavericks, Sons Of The Desert, Mark Chesnutt, Olivia Newton John, Rodney Crowell, George Jones, Nathan East, The Warren Brothers, Natalie Hemby and many others.
I am on the Board of the Adamson Alumni Association of Adamson High School (formerly Oak Cliff High School). My deceased uncle was a classmate of Young’s and I have several copies of the 1927 Oak Cliff High yearbook with a photo of Young and a little more detail of activities in which he was involved. Email me or call me at (972) 699-1392 if you are interested in the yearbook.
