Hey friends,
Spring is in full swing, and May is packed with some great shows (from one coast to another)—plus a brand new release and a big milestone I’m really excited to share with you.
🎶 New Music Alert:
I’m releasing a brand new single, “So I Won’t,” on Tuesday, May 5th, on all digital streaming platforms. I can’t wait for you to hear this one—it’s a song that means a lot to me, and I think it’s going to connect in a real way.
Here’s where you can catch me in May:

Derby Day at The Barn Resort – Gettysburg, PA
A perfect way to kick off the month—horses, hats, and country music. Looking forward to this one.

Private Event – Hub City Vinyl – Hagerstown, MD
Closed to the public, but always great to play a spot that supports live music.

Pickathon Presents: Mike Kuster
The Showdown – Portland, OR – 8:00 PM
This is a big one—my very first West Coast show, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring the music out to Portland. It’ll be a special solo acoustic night—just me, the songs, and the stories behind them.
If you’re anywhere near the Pacific Northwest (or know someone who is), I’d love to pack the room and make this a night to remember.
🎤 Coming Up in June (Don’t Miss This One):
Saturday, June 6, 2026
Sky Stage Presents: Mike Kuster & The Catoctin Cowboys
Frederick, MD – 7:00 PM
This will be a full band show with The Catoctin Cowboys, and it’s one I’ve been really looking forward to. If you’ve seen us live, you know the energy we bring—and if you haven’t yet, this is a great one to catch.
I’ve also been working hard behind the scenes on more new music, and there’s plenty more on the way. Thanks for continuing to listen, share, and show up—it truly means everything.
Hope to see you out at a show this month—and don’t forget to stream “So I Won’t” on May 5th.
—Mike Kuster
