Michael on Fire

From his beginnings as a songwriter and artist signed by the late-great Don Davis to Groovesville Music working out of Detroits famed United Sound Studios, to his earliest recordings with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (The Swampers) at Muscle Shoals Sound, to his musical explorations with his progressive jazz group, Prismatic, to his time spent in L.A. and Nashville, gigging constantly and making records with the likes of Stephen Stills, Joe Vitale, Daniel Lazerus, and many other great producers and musicians, to his many years of non-stop grass-roots touring through every nook and cranny of the country, and right on through to his new two-album set, Michael On Fire has been relentless in his commitment to creative expression and musical performance. He is that rare breed that has lived his entire adult life, uncompromisingly, as a full-time artist, playing all original music.

Michael is a stunning vocalist that can put intensity, sincerity and emotion into the rendition of his excellent songs...there is a very special rhythm, a special vibration in his music, a heartbeat, an always latent emotion that takes you, that moves you...very good singer songwriter ... - Mike Penard, Radio ISA (France)

This is honest, rootsy music by a veteran artist who makes music on his own terms regardless of current fads and fancies we celebrate artists like that, especially when the music is of such uniformly high quality. Alan Cackett, Maverick Magazine

In a recent radio interview, Michael said, Every day is a challenge to maintain our humanity and our dreams. My job is to somehow gift the world with the courage it takes to follow ones own heart and path; to play that magic chord in a way that Ive never played it before, and somehow be of service to myself, my children, my family, my friends, my generation, and the people who truly need something beyond the obvious nonsense that we are all faced with on a daily basis.
