Mike Faast and the Standards Quartet
Mike Faast -Following in the footsteps of other country/jazz singers such as Freddy Powers, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, and Pasty Cline, Mike Faast is equally at home singing a warm country ballad, a high honkin’ bluegrass tune or crooning a jazz standard. Mike currently serves as bandleader for the Michael Faast & the STANDARDS Trio, Chuckanut Ridge Bluegrass band, the Cascade Mountain Boys (Bluegrass), Swing 48 (string jazz,) the Jangles (Western Swing), and the Jangles Quartet (acoustic string band). Mike has been performing concerts on the West Coast for over forty years, and his bands have performed in hundreds of events in the great Northwest. In 2016 Mike was inducted into the Northwest chapter of the Western Swing Hall of Fame!
