Mike Vandemark, leads an amazingly talented community of musicians called the Lexington Lab Band.
In this conversation with the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley, we will hear how teamwork and humility allow these musicians to achieve a level of excellence that brings honor to those whose songs they cover, and joy to those who love the music. The lesson for service clubs is a powerful one.
A musician and producer based in Lexington, Kentucky, Mike Vandemark has been collaborating with musicians and leading artistic endeavors for nearly three decades.
The son of two music educators, his passion for team collaboration through the arts was developed at a young age and is on display through his role as a programming director for the second largest church in Kentucky and his leadership of the internationally acclaimed YouTube project the Lexington Lab Band. Under his guidance LLB has amassed over 100 Million Views on social media networks and has been a platform for over 85 local musicians to gather and celebrate the music that inspired them.
When he’s not working or performing you can find him enjoying time with his wife of 25 years, Leann, and their kids Charlie and Anna or on a local Disc Golf course.
