Mykl Stanley, a recent Vegas transplant from Milwaukee, Wisconsin started playing guitar while he was a theatre major in college. He quickly formed a duo with a college friend and realized it was music,and not acting that put his performance skills to their best use. In 1992 this duo grew into a classic rock trio known as the "Suburban Gypsies". After several successful years with the Gypsies, Mykl began to build a name for himself in the Milwaukee music scene. With recognition came choices. Mykl was asked to join another band called the Orphans, the top rated cover band in Wisconsin, often referred to as "the human jukebox" as they carried a 400 - 500 song repertoire. Mykl joined the Orphans in 1995. They regularly played anywhere from 225 - 300 days a year. During an almost 8 year run with the Orphans, Mykl had the opportunity to rub elbows with some of the classic rock greats. He has opened for many amazing acts such as the Doobie Brothers, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, E.L.O., Joan Jett and R.E.O. Speedwagon to name a few. The honor did not come with much surprise as the Orphans had their own rock star, former Arista recording artist, Keedy, who's song "Save Some Love" went to Billboard Magazine's #13 in 1991 in the U.S. and went #1 in Japan. Mykl was not only lucky enough to share the stage with this fellow Orphan but they were also good friends and writing partners. Keedy is currently working on a new album, which will feature some of the songs they wrote. Even with the Orphans' continuing success, Mykl and Keedy both felt they needed a break so in 2002 they both quit the band. Mykl and Keedy spent most of their time in the studio writing and recording. After a while Mykl really missed performing and the stage started to call to him again. Rather then going back to what he used to do he and his wife Suzee decided it was time for a change and on a total whim picked up and moved to Las Vegas. So in early 2004, Mykl set up shop in Las Vegas where he started at square one again. Mykl spent some time checking out local venues to see just what was happening around town. He happened upon a few open mics and quickly became a regular fixture at most of them, meeting new people and always keeping an eye out for someone he might like to work with. Mykl did find a young man named Jeremiah Vaught who played well and was a great singer. After getting together a few times, Mykl & Jeremiah decided to give it a go as an acoustic duo. They called themselves 8-Track Romeo and they focused on harmony rich acoustic hits of the 60's & 70's. Things were going well but as sometimes happens in this biz, just about the time things looked like they might really start to take off for the duo, Jeremiah decided that Las Vegas was not the town for him and he decided to move back to his home state of Washington. Knowing the dynamic that these two had would not easily be found with a new partner, Mykl decided to focus on working as a solo artist. He is also now hosting one of the best open mic nights in town every Sunday at the Emergency Room Lounge. So come on out to the E.R. or sign up on the mailing list to keep up on all of Mykl's upcoming shows.
