Worcester Magazine's Noah Schaffer said, "DiBari always hits the mark regardless of whether he's shooting from the hip on hard blues, plucking out delicate lines on a ballad, or keeping the groove on an upbeat jump tune." While onstage his solos command attention but to the scene at large Mike may very well be one of Boston's best kept secrets.

Steve Morse of the Boston Globe called Mike DiBari, "a well-schooled singer and guitarist." His music education first started in New York City at the Manhattan School of Music, where he studied classical guitar with Nicholas Goluses and the great Mme Segovia. In 1994, he earned a Bachelor's Degree from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he further honed his skills as a guitarist learning from jazz masters, Jon Damian, Jim Kelly and Jon Finn. Mike has also studied jazz guitar with Harry Leahy (who won a Grammy for his work with Phil Woods) and the legendary Pat Martino.

In 1996, Mike formed the Mike DiBari Swingtet, and in the following year released his first CD, Jumpin' The Blues, on his own Palomino Records label. The CD received favorable reviews and was picked up by Hepcat Records and distributed worldwide. Don Fluckinger of the Worcester Phoenix wrote, "This recording catches the spark of live swing as it happened four decades ago." Metronome Magazine's Doug Sloan said, "DiBari does an excellent job carrying the torch with savory guitar licks and genuine heartfelt vocals." In 2001, two of the songs appeared on the Shag Archives' compilation CD, Hot-'taw-mighty, which received airplay on radio and in clubs in S. Carolina.

In an effort to shine a brighter spotlight on his guitar playing and compositional skills, the Mike DiBari Trio was formed. The group refined their elegant sound during their three year residency every Friday night at Boston's prestigious Marriott Long Wharf Hotel. Their first CD, Rotary Ahead, was released in '03 and immediately won the favor of Grammy nominated guitarist, Duke Robillard, who called it "a swinging session that demonstrates [Mike's] flair for melodic classic jazz stylings and tasty blues solos." On this disc can be heard echoes of T-Bone Walker as well as Charlie Christian and Thelonious Monk. Blending the styles of the blues and jazz greats, this soon-to-be-more recognized guitarist is carving a niche all his own.
