The Story Ep. 231: Michael DeCarlo
Super excited to announce next guest, Michael DeCarlo, to The Story!
Michael is the founder and Frontman for Mama’s Horn. They are a rock cover band that is continuing to evolve, but their roots are in Rock / Southern Rock.
This journey began a little over 10 years ago when Michael made a conscious decision to complete a “bucket list” item and perform on stage for a large audience. Since then, he formalized things and started the band Mama’s Horn in 2019.
Their focus has always been to provide a high energy, theme based, and audience inspired experience. That is Michael's primary focus, each time they perform and why he considers himself a frontman and entertainer rather than a singer. He often involves the audience and other musicians who attend their shows and it is not uncommon for them to be up on stage.

When he's not working on films, he usually has a guitar, covering songs on Instagram or writing originals, playing ice hockey, boxing, or riding horses. His biggest influences across media are Kurt Cobain, David Fincher, and Robert DeNiro.
