Mike Wiley

Our original drummer, Bill Watson, left Spirit Driven in 2006 for family reasons and was replaced by Mike Wiley. Mike played with a band called “Soul Fisher”. They had great local success and developed a prison ministry. Mike added an extra direction to our music. He not only played drums and percussions, but played dobro guitar and a five string banjo. His entry into Spirit Driven was the “inspiration” for our Blue Grass song, Arisin’ For Good. Jesse felt a need to have a song for Mike’s special gifts. So that’s how that song got written. Mike still plays with the band on special occasions and recordings.
