Mike Kroeger

Michael Douglas Henry Kroeger, more commonly known as Mike Kroeger. (born June 25, 1972) in the small farming community of Hanna, Alberta, Canada, Mike Kroeger is the bass player for the derivative and unoriginal, yet unsuprising successful mainstream band Nickelback. He is the older half-brother to the band's lead singer and guitarist, Chad Kroeger, and is responsible for Nickelback's name, as it's apparently derived from the amount of change he would give customers for a cup of coffee while working at the local coffee shop in Hanna. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide. (Mike now lives in Vancouver) He is the bass guitarist for the band Nickelback. When performing Mike uses 5-string basses as needed for the band's songs. Mike uses Spector and Lakland electric bass guitars. He is married to Angela Kroeger and has a son, and a daughter, named Dawson and Avalon; all of which often tours with the band. He was in a heavy-metal band before joining Nickelback along with Ryan Peake, per the request of Chad Kroeger.
