Mike Shoup was a popular 'sound man' in the early days of Maranatha! Music in the 1970s.

Shoup supplied the sound system, microphones, effects and encouragement to the pioneering Christian rock groups of The Jesus Movement in 1970s Southern California. Mike started out with Bill Sprouse Jr. in The Road Home, and later worked for Daniel Amos and Bethlehem. In 1977 Mike and his wife Kathy re-located from California to Boulder Colorado to join The band Bethlehem in full time music ministry. Mike became the soundman and part of the Church planting team headed by Pastor Tom Stipe, as an outreach of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. Mike served with Bethlehem until the group disbanded in 1979, when He returned to California where he now resides.

For trivia interests, Mike was the "CBer" heard at the end of the Daniel Amos song "Shotgun Angel"† (credited in the "LP" insert). After many "takes" of the CB conversation, it was the first take that was used. It was Mike's mixing of an old four track recording and some pedal steel guitar work by Dom Franco that made Daniel Amos desire to do the song. The song became extremely popular and resulted in becoming the title song for Daniel Amos's 2nd album (16 total).
