InfluencesSinger/songwriters! I can't survive without a suitcase full of CD's from Jackson Browne, John Hiatt, Robert Earl Keen, John Prine, Bonnie Raitt, Jimmy Buffett, Mac MacAnnaly, Hank Williams Sr., Kevin Fowler, Pat Green, Richard Shindell, Eric Hanke, & oop's, crap, that one's broken!

Any live show, either musical or stand-up comic: it's easy to go into the studio and sound great...I wanna see and hear what you can do in front of a live audience with your backside on the line!

Sounds LikeWhat if Jimmy Buffett had grown up in Texas? What if Garth Brooks had grown up in New Orleans? What if Parrotheads all wore cowboy boots?. Micheal has been compared to Jimmy, Jerry Jeff, Robert Earl Keen, Garth Brooks, Lyle Lovett...all at the same time!

   About J. Micheal Laferty
Although he calls South Padre Island Texas home, Micheal spends his time happily wandering between the Rio Grande, New Orleans, and the Florida Keys. His music is a reflection of his lifestyle and surroundings, and his loyal following of fans and media alike are comparing Micheal with such notables as Robert Earl Keen, Joe Ely, Lyle Lovett, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Jimmy Buffett.

Micheal songs seamless interweaves in and out of all facets of human emotion, you'll laugh one minute, and cry the next...but you'll come away with a smile. Just think of it as giving your soul a mini-vacation in a hammock, under a palm tree, turquoise waters, powder white sands, a warm breeze, and a cool beverage.
