He's been billed in clubs and halls with the likes of Johnny Cash, Shawn Colvin, Donovan, and hundreds of others on the songwriter circuit. He has a seasoned voice, accomplished steel-string guitar work, and some wonderful tour adventures. Michael is known for a distinct and vivid brand of storytelling in his lyrics.
