WHAT IS MIC1PARK MUSIC?
Mic1park was founded by Kevin Vargo in May of 2020 with the original purpose of a personal creative outlet. Quickly, the idea became a brand itself, and with that began to take structure as a full website and podcast covering music, sports, politics, and current events.
In March of 2021, Kevin made the decision to take the Mic1park brand back to its roots, exclusively covering the one topic that ultimately inspired everything to blossom from the ground up to begin with: music.
Since then, Mic1park has undeniably become one of the most prominent, trusted names throughout all of the various local music scenes in North America by curating exclusive playlists, highlighting brand new music, publishing write-ups and blogs, hosting bands weekly via the Mic1park Podcast, facilitating bookings, promoting shows, and much more.
BEHIND THE NAME
What does "Mic1park" mean?
First and foremost, you are likely wondering - it's pronounced "Mid-Park" -
Kevin's late father, John, graduated from Midpark High School in Cleveland, Ohio in 1976.
An avid trivia fan his entire life, John used the moniker "Midprk76" (yep, with no a; an eight-character limit) for trivia games at restaurants and bars.
Simply put, it's a name created specifically to always honor, cherish, and remember the memories and time spent between father and son.
