Lots of projects in the works for 2022... I've been busy going through “my back pages” so watch for new music releases throughout the year on my Bandcamp page. Some recent samples below.

Meanwhile, my I Remember Travel web project marches on into a second year of travel tales told through words, music and photography. Read the latest posts here.
Alternate remixes of the soundtrack to my film The City at Night are now available on my Bandcamp page.
My friend and creative collaborator Brett Huus and I finally got around to releasing this jazzy gem that had been lingering in the vault for far too long.
Backwaters is my suite of six loosely linked guitar ensemble pieces inspired by living in the Upper Mississippi River valley in Wisconsin's Driftless Region. With this album we are also helping to raise awareness and funds for the Friends of the La Crosse River Marsh. They're a nonprofit group that volunteers their time to help preserve the wetlands of western Wisconsin and maintain the well-used and well-loved nature trail system that offers a great escape right here in the middle of the city.

Watch our music-photo video collaboration and learn more at the Friends of the La Crosse Marsh home page.​
Mike Starling's original music is heard on numerous recordings and soundtracks, and his stories and photos have been featured in books, films, mags and other media. Among his other interesting career moves, he has edited a beer magazine, played bass in a reggae band and sold potato chips door-to-door.
