Raised on the salty coastal swamplands of Stratham in regional WA Michael has spent decades performing live music around WA and Australia. The acoustic singer songwriter delivers his fusion of alt country, gritty blues & roots with a supercharged energy whenever he's on stage. His love of touring and performing live has seen him currently elevated to one of Perth’s most prolific touring original artists. He's joined by full time professional jazz musicians Ryan Daunt and Adam Springhetti who add effortless detail and texture to the set. An unforgettably unique show.
Michael had a massive 2023 with many festivals and tours across Australia with artists such as The Waifs, Morgan Evans, Eskimo Joe, The Wolfe Brothers, Travis Collins, Steph Strings & Andrew Swift. In 2024 his tour is reaching all the corners of WA and includes a National tour of festivals (Perth Muster, Blossom Festival, Pinjarra Festival, Kalamunda Spring live music Festival, Mandurah Country Music Festival, Gidgestock, Wangarrata Rodeo & Music Festival & Winter Swells Festival.
The dedication to his music, live shows, touring and promotion has also resulted in Michael receiving nominations for the WA Country Music Awards for Male artist of the year, Alt Country Single of the year and Open Songwriter of the year.
In support for this show Kris Nelson is teaming up again with Michael to bring you a night to exceptional quality live music.
