Moose Mountain Jazz Band Mike Chatigny Drums Photo by Robert Byrne Mike began playing drums in 1976 when he was in the third grade. By the age of eleven, he was involved in several musical projects including a Drum Corps, and performing groups in the seacoast area. He continued studying music in schools in Exeter, and by his early teens, had played different styles of music from classical to jazz, rock, Latin and funk. As a senior in high school, Mike studied and played with the Tanglewood Youth Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Vic Firth. He has also studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Over the years, Mike has played and traveled extensively with several bands, touring along the east coast, and highlighting many regular jobs in New York City and Boston. He has appeared in musical performances at colleges such as Brown University, Providence College, Boston College, and Plymouth State College. In addition, he has recorded over one hundred and fifty hours in recording studios all over New England and the northeast. He has appeared on twelve recordings, and on many radio commercials and advertisement jingles. Mike now lives in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire and is currently playing with four different musical groups. He also works as a full time Banker, and enjoys spending time with his family and his young daughter.
