Biography

Who is Rutherford Mike?

British rock musician on bass guitar, cello and organ; a songwriter. He is a founding member of the art-rock band "Genesis," and played with Tony Banks on such hits as "Follow You, Follow Me," 1978, "Trespass," 1970, and "Nursery Cryme," 1971. His solo LPs include "Small Creep’s Day," 1980, and "Acting Very Strange," 1982. Rutherford grew up in Portsmouth where his father was a captain with the British Navy. He entered Charterhouse School in September 1964 and soon became friends with Anthony (Ant) Phillips. Together they formed "Anon," and the merging of this group with another school band, "Garden Wall," spawned "Genesis." From the moment the debut album, "From Genesis to Revelation," was released in 1969, the band attracted a devoted fan following. The group’s creative peak was probably in 1974 with "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." After front man Peter Gabriel left the group, he was replaced with Phil Collins, a change that took the group successfully into the 1980s. Although Rutherford pursued his solo career during this time and performed with "Mike and the Mechanics," he toured with Genesis once again to support the 1986 blockbuster hit, "Invisible Touch."
