Mike Severin

Mike Severin is a renaissance man and and a raconteur. He’s one of the hidden gems of the Sault music scene with a lot of experience to share that he gained from traversing the province and country chasing the dream of music. You’ll know him from his show on The Borderline, Sev’s Cellar. His Rolodex is deep and he shares those connections on his weekly program. Like his old band Old Hat, he is a man of many hats as well – recording engineer, technician, multi-instrumentalist musician, Buddhist and champion of the Sault music scene. We take you on a journey of discovery and successes that start and end in our hometown.
