Mike Midlo
Nevado Sowle is constantly
seeking to find new tones both
acoustic and electronic, and
his catalogue fits most snuggly
into the category of pop. While
spending the past few years
recording and touring the West
Coast with acts like Bart Bud-
wig, Desolation Horse, MAITA,
Joseph Hein and An American
Forrest, Sowle “has found time
in between green rooms and
sound booths to develop a
style that will help define the
sound and style of the Pacific
Northwest,” according to a
press release.
MidLo, aka Mike Midlo, lives,
walks around and writes songs
in Wallowa County. Sometimes
he ventures out and sings them
for people. His latest record,
“Two Steps & Waltzes,” was
recorded at the OK Theatre in
Enterprise and turned out to
be popular, notably with local
legends Rich Shirley and Janie
Tippett.
