Mike Votava

Artist | Songwriter | Music Maker | Designer

Mike Votava is an artist, songwriter, and music maker based out of Seattle. He’s been putting music and art stuff out into the world for over twenty-five years. His songs are generally of the “rock” variety — interesting, catchy, clever, and well-put-together. People seem to like them and so will you.

Mike has written hundreds of songs and rocked hundreds of shows. He performs solo and with his bands — Mike Votava and The Ding Dongs and We Wrote the Book on Connectors

Mike Votava and The Dings Dongs debut album is “Eat A Hot Dog”. It is quite good. I should know. I’ve heard it.

To hear a Mike Votava song is to find yourself wanting to call him up immediately and bypass the whole “getting to know you” thing and go straight to hanging out and laughing about life’s ridiculous inanities.
