Mike Mentz has made a life out of traveling the globe, while crafting roots-flavored tracks from the road. With performances in more than 30 countries, and two IMA-nominated albums set for future release, Mentz is ready to share his unique brand of 'travelpop' with fans from around the world.

"Ain't That The Life" crystallizes a wayward decade spent playing music into a driving mix of guitar, acoustic drums, and lyrical narratives. This rock-flavored indie gem mixes elements of Americana, folk, and foot-stomping country music. The vibe here feels a bit like having a beer with a friend, as stories from the road mix with a red-hot banjo performance and we finish with a bit of nostalgia about the heady days of youth. "Ain't That The Life" explores the synergy between ambition and gratitude, as we discover the simple fact that every moment is a launching point for adventure.
