Mike Haggith Talks Borderline Brilliance, Mental Health & Building a Music Legacy

In this episode of Two Beers With The Band, I sit down with Mike Haggith—an alternative rock songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist—whose music is rooted in raw honesty, mental health awareness, and classic DIY spirit. Based in Barrie, Ontario, Mike has carved out a name for himself by making music that cuts deep—mixing confessional lyrics with soaring instrumentals that tap into everything from 90s alt-rock to orchestral indie vibes.

In Part 1, Mike discusses his 2021 record Bridges helped him process some of his darkest moments—and the upcoming album All the Best In All You Do is the sequel to that emotional journey. We discuss the challenge of building a music career in Northern Ontario, what it means to be a solo artist backed by passion (not ego), and how MorningStar Records is helping give indie musicians a real shot.

Mike also gets real about stage fright, the power of repetition in writing, and why keeping promises to himself—like putting on his own music festival—is part of how he defines success.
