A+P started 10 years ago when Mike and Will met in a college class. At first, the duo did not get along too well. But after being forced to work together, the two discovered that they both had talents that complemented each other. So after receiving stellar grades that year, they decided to keep working together. What was once a good-natured business partnership, led to a growing and lasting friendship.
Will and Mike started writing music together almost immediately. Creating such tunes as “Deserve” and “Crowded” establishing their sound. After a few years of writing together, they took a break to start families. Now both proud parents, the duo have renewed their drive to create music again. This new drive produced songs like “Coffee Shop” and “Matter” and helped pave the way to what they are today.
Mike Abendschein, from Leesburg, FL. Lead acoustic guitar. Strums strums strums… finger picking? That’s for crazy people like Andy Mckee! Mike also plays all the instruments no one else wants to like the mystical and ever eluding musical whoopee coushin. Mike makes the music you can sort of listen to and drops the harmony vocals. Mike supplies the one verse wonder. You don’t know what your getting but the majesty of his 6’11 pear shaped frame makes you always come back for more! … but you really don’t know why….
Will Pigg, from Central Florida, is a towering 5’4 juggernaut and lead vocals of A+P. His monotone style takes Mike’s “one verse wonder” skill, fills in the rest of the lyrics and makes the music quasi-listenable… w/o Will and his miniscule machismo you wouldn’t like it…
Roger Reese, lives in San Fransisco, CA, and is the A+P west coast biiiatch. His drumming is beastly but A+P had no fans except Roger and he really wanted to drum. A+P regrets signing him to a life long contract to be percussions but he is shorter than Mike and taller than Will so he kinda filled in the blanks in more ways than one. Roger makes you wanna tap your foot but that’s… about… it….
