GROWING UP: Howdy, my friends. First of all, I'm not really 99, I just didn't sleep well last night. I'm a singer/songwriter/recording artist, raised on the dusty plains of Texas, given reprieve from a life in the dirt in the mid-80s by the folks of the rainy Pacific Northwest, when one of my songs on cassette tape became the most requested song in the history of KEZX radio in Seattle. I moved there and found a new way of life among the ancient trees and mountains and rivers and islands. Since 1985 I've been writing songs and recording new albums every few years, occasionally touring to play concerts around the country.
MY MUSIC: My music is a reflection and expression of who I am and what I live and love: a journal of sorts of the life I live. Almost all my songs contain references to living things; nature; natural elements, the seasons and weather. I have always felt acutely connected to the weather and it finds it's way into my songs of love and friendship and soulful evolution. You can listen to samples of my music, read my humorous monthly ramblings and find out about concerts and order CDs by going to www.michaeltomlinson.com
New CD: Yesterday (Dec 7, 06) I began recording my first full band CD in nine years. I'm putting together a wonderful group of musicians and very happy that I'm finally getting back to the studio. I'll definitely keep you up on our progress.

Hey, MIchael! It's great being able to keep up w/ you this way. As a long long time fan I wonder if you have any plans to come to New England anytime soon? Maine misses you!
Hi Michael, I haven't visited your my space page in a while, thought I'd drop in and leave a comment. I was looking for your videos on my space but there are none so I guess I'll check out the vids on You Tube. Take care and have a great week! Jenny
Hello Michael, Sending a melody of hugs your way. Still love your music.... from the eighties on. Seeing you in Ventura around that time has left a clear vision still today of the wonderful energy of the theater and your heartfelt songs. Thanks my friend.
Hi there Michael - I am listening to you sing as I write.
I want to wish you, and your lady too a lovely weekend; I also must thank you being "a friend" here on MS.
Hope the Denver show is fun, and that you meet-up with some lovely people. I plan to find a location & time, very soon, to see you again. I will have to be sure to introduce myself!
Hey MT... Hope all is well with you. Finally got to see Colorado; reminded me of a dear musician we both liked: Dan Fogelberg. "..and I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel." I hope the audience is treating you well, too.
Hi Michael. Your music was a lovely background to our outdoor hors d'oeuvre party following spring cleanup at the family cabin. We all thank you for years of wonderful music.
Hi Michael - thanks for the add... nice to meet you! Looking forward to hearing your new CD. Jay raves about it. Take care and stop by anytime... Patti

Hi michael.... hope you are doing well.... sorry that i changed my song recently, i had been using your music for so long, and i love it so much, but i heard this guy, "Is" from hawaii, i think, singing the song ,"somewhere over the rainbow, and also adding in the song "a beautiful world".. i couldn't resist adding it to my space... i hope that didn't knock me off your top 20 page... gosh.. i was on there for awhile.... well.... enjoy our late winter sunshine, and in peace... jill

Thanks for the Add! Fella Below Is my other half, its ironic im listening to calling me back to the wild right now.. Looking forward to the new release, I guess we grew up together, 21 years you have been included in our lives & you never knew it. You have been from coast to coast with us raised 11 children who now all know all of your music and recognize it, Run like a river runs was a favorite lullaby of our almost 20 year old.
Thanks for the add!!! In 1986 my then girlfriend drug me to a show at the Hilton Inn in Casper, WY to see some guy named Michael Tomlinson. My girlfriend became my wife and 21 years later we are still together and your music has been and still is a big part of our life. Thank you so very much for continuing to inspire us. Looking forward to the new release.
