Mike Campbell Biography
Mike Campbell is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on February 1, 1950 in Panama City, Florida, United States. Rock guitarist, songwriter, and record producer who performed with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
He cited Bob Dylan as one of his primary musical influences.
Campbell was born in Panama City, Florida. He grew up there and in Jacksonville, Florida, where he graduated from Jean Ribault High School in 1968. At 16, his mother bought him his first guitar, a Harmony acoustic model which he later described as “unplayable”, from a pawnshop. His first electric guitar was a $60 Guyatone, but playing a friend’s Gibson SG (a model Campbell would not own himself for many years) was a transformative experience. Like Tom Petty, Campbell drew his strongest influences from The Byrds and Bob Dylan, with additional inspiration coming from guitarists such as Scotty Moore, Luther Perkins, George Harrison, Carl Wilson, Jerry Garcia, Roger McGuinn, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Jimmy Page, Mick Taylor, and Neil Young. The first song he learned to play was “Baby Let Me Follow You Down,” a song which appeared on Dylan’s eponymous debut album. He formed a band named Dead or Alive which quickly disbanded.
Campbell met Tom Petty through drummer Randall Marsh. Marsh was auditioning to be in Petty’s band Mudcrutch and learned that Mudcrutch had recently lost their guitarist. He suggested that Petty try Campbell, who was his roommate and had actually been listening to the conversation in the next room. Campbell impressed Petty with his version of Johnny B. Goode and was offered a spot in the band. Mudcrutch became a very popular act around Gainesville and north Florida in the early 1970s. They relocated to Los Angeles in 1974 and signed a record deal with Shelter Records, but released only one poor-selling single and broke up soon after.
His marriage to Marcie Campbell produced two daughters and a son.
