Hall Around Town Radio

Singer, songwriter, musician... but besides that Mike Godwin is an entertainer. He plays to an audience most nights of the week like he has been on stage all his life. Mike's brand of music is storytelling, with strong harmonies and the influences of greats like the Eagles and Springsteen. In his "Backstage Hall Pass" interview Mike shares about growing up with music in his house, his move to Nashville, a new band in the works and his home base for entertaining, Tootsies Orchid Lounge! 'Mom's' was the original name of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, Tootsie Bess bought Mom's in 1960. She credits a painter with naming Tootsie's. She came in one day to find that he had painted her place orchid...thus the name Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. Famous early customers were Kris Kristofferson, Faron Young, Willie Nelson, Tom T. Hall, Hank Cochran, Mel Tillis, Roger Miller, Webb Pierce, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline and many more.
