Artist - Drummer, Vocalist

There's something amazing about Mike Underwood. Nobody knows exactly what it is, but everybody knows it's there. Maybe it's his collegiate classical training and his frequent performances in a variety of symphony orchestras and wind ensembles... or maybe it's the jazz chops he developed while performing with the band The Jazz Orgy… or maybe it's his extensive experience with steel drums while leading the band Pandora's Groove… but most likely, it's the energy and charisma that he brings to the stage for every performance. His commitment to practice and learning yields incredible musical tensions and releases, it's a musical catharsis.

Bio: Katie Weihbrecht is the official photographer of the ICONS team. Katie graduated Summa Cum Laude from St. Norbert College in 2007 with a degree in Fine Arts and emphasis in photography. During her time there she worked in the campus photography lab, interned with Caylor Photography, worked at Turba Photography, and photographed many campus events. After graduation, Katie was commissioned to do design work for a number of local studios and was also employed as an art teacher and school photographer at a local private school. In 2011 Katie went back to her roots, opening her own photography studio, Weihbrecht Photography. Though Katie photographs a wide variety of subject matters, she’s more recently found her niche in band photography as a way to combine her passions for art and music. When not behind the camera, Katie enjoys spending time with her husband, 3 sons, and 2 dogs. Her favorite places to be are her family cabin on Brule Lake, or at the beach. In her free time Katie enjoys traveling, swimming, hiking, barre, reading, music, art, and food. Fun facts: In addition to photography Katie is also trained in oil painting, though if she could have any talent in the world it would be the ability to sing well. Katie LOVES sweets and could eat her body weight in ice cream…or queso, but absolutely hates small spaces, confrontation, and clutter.
