Michael Houser January 6, 1962 - August 10, 2002



He was an unassuming rock star who left us far too soon. More than that though Mikey was a husband and a father. Here's a video of him playing a song written and named for his son, Waker. This performance is from June 28, 2002 - Mikey's last show at Red Rocks, his 3rd to last show ever.

He would be gone 6 weeks later.



My name is the Waker
And I'm bringin' you the morning sun
I've pushed the old man up forever
Still I feel I've just begun

I've just begun

My name is treetop
And I'm higher than you'll ever be
I'm married to my roots here
Still I feel like I am free

Feelin' I'm free

My name is blue sky
And I'm bluer than all of you
I've watched you run around forever
Always searching for something new

There's nothing new

Feelin' I'm free

I've just begun

I'm always young

Love's always new
