Mike Fellows AKA Miighty Flashlight (born Michael Scott Fellows on September 20, 1965) is an American musician who has performed and recorded with a variety of groups and artists since the early 1980s.[1][2] Such acts include Royal Trux, Silver Jews, and Will Oldham as well as being a member of the 1980s post-hardcore band Rites of Spring, with which he played bass guitar.[3][4]
In 2002, calling himself Miighty Flashlight, he released an eponymous album which drew comparisons to J.J. Cale and Discharge.[5][6]
In 2004, as Mike Fellows, he made Limited Storyline Guest which was released by UK label Vertical Form.[7]
Apart from the occasional guest guitar solo, both albums were home-recorded entirely by Fellows alone.[8]
