On The MIC with Mike Herz: "Mama, You've Been On My Mind" Bob Dylan Cover

Welcome local New Jersey folk singer Mike Herz to our On The MIC stage! This week he covers one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters, Bob Dylan, and his song "Mama, You've Been On My Mind."


Why Mike Herz Rocks:

  • folk singer from New Jersey

  • writes songs from deeply personal narratives to impressionist songs

  • has played venues all over the country from the main stage at prestigious festivals to bars where he steadfastly ignores requests for modern country songs

  • in a band called Part-Time Custodian


Why Mike Herz chose "Mama, You've Been On My Mind"

"My girlfriend and I listened to a few different versions of this song recently, from interesting covers to his live version with Joan Baez where they messed up and just sorta laughed it off. This song feels light and heavy at once mixed with Dylan's poetic wordplay. It was fun learning it and figuring out how I wanted to portray it."
