Mike Cosentino

Mike is a huge fan of local singer-songwriters who work so hard to get their music heard and appreciated. He was moved by watching and listening to the local artists perform at open mic venues, coffeehouses, bars and theaters. Hosting an open mic on the Asbury Park boardwalk was his first step into getting involved in the music scene at the Jersey Shore. Since then, Mike has provided sound for several local and not so local artists. He has also helped several charities and church groups providing the sound for their presentations and musical needs. MOAM is a perfect fit for Mike and he is very excited to be a member of the board.
