Michael Eagleson is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist based in Atlanta, GA. He also plays a bit of harmonica, dabbles in the drums, plinks around on the piano... and whatever other instruments he can get his hands on.
Michael released his first album, Don't Wait Up, in 1999 to great critical acclaim. His second album, Bipolar Bear, was released in November 2002 and was even better than the first in many ways. Now you can hear the best from both albums, plus a few new songs, recorded live with an acoustic guitar on his latest release, "Three-Night Stand."
Mikey baby!! Haven't shown you some love here in awhile so I wanted to stop in today to wish you a Very Merry Christmas Day and hope that it is filled with love, peace, friendship, feel ups and drunkeness. Merry Christmas my brother!! Yours in sport, Jeff
Dear Mike Eagleson, Thank you so much for joining the Jeff Pike Appreciation Society. I have to ask--what was it like working with Jeff? Please tell us about it so we can share the story and experience...and try to imagine that we were there.
