The Summer Music Issue July/August 2008 pg.49 reads: "Lori Michaels: Her live shows are the stuff of lesbian legend....." CLICK HERE to view NOVEMBER FEATURE on Lori Michaels
The Bay Area Reporter & The Chicago Free Press: "If Justin Timberlake were a lesbian (and who's to say that he's not?), he might sound something like Lori Michaels on her full-length debut CD Living My Life Out Loud (Reform). While working the 21st century blue-eyed soul vibe, Michaels doesn't avoid queer subject matter on album-opener "Get It Through Your Head" and "Meet Me at the Partay" (feat. Sasha A. Mess), with its queen-bee, dyke-diva club attitude and "hey ho/ho hey/everybody knows you're gay" chant." -- Gregg Shapiro
OutSmart Magazine:
"This gorgeous, out musician delivers fine vocals and arrangements that sound influenced by Justin Timberlake, or even Timbaland. The dames of the Dinah Shore Weekend loved Michaels this past season, with good reason. High-quality, solid pop. Available June 3 from Reform Records." — Review: Nancy Ford

Being named one of CURVE Magazine’s 2008 seven ENTERTAINERS OF THE YEAR was just the icing on the cake for Lori Michaels, whose career really took off in 2006, following her official “Coming Out” party at the House of Blues’ Club Worship in Atlantic City. It was a House of Blues first, and a turning point for Michaels in her evolution to in-demand solo artist and nationwide headliner with her head-turning Me & The Girls shows.
In a time when coming out has evolved from something equated with fear to something much more about freedom, Michaels has freed her artistic soul to deliver “Living My Life Out Loud.” – her debut album with Reform Records (available on Itunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Verizon vcast and in select stores nationwide). It is a testament to, above all else, her love of the song – whether that means writing, arranging and performing the vocals (lead and backgrounds), showcasing her talents on the piano/keys, or overseeing production with the best in the business to leave listeners breathless.
As fans will note in her “Meet Me at the Partay” track, Ms. Michaels has been officially dubbed “THE Dyke Diva” – in part because of her complete command over any audience and because simply, she IS the whole package. To quote GO! Magazine (where Lori appeared as a covergirl for their August 2008 Music Issue), "Every once in a while an enigmatic, stereotype-breaking artist like Lori Michaels comes along to level the playing field and change the rules of the game." She is a powerful singer/songwriter, a musician of the first order, and the star and choreographer of her Me & The Girls song and dance act. The fans of the NFL, NHL, NBA, and WNBA franchises know Michaels for her chilling rendition of the National Anthem, as well as producing, directing, and wowing crowds in her pre-game and half-time performances. Countless couples know Michaels for “Unconditionally,” her love song sung at many a gay (and straight) wedding.
Since her Coming Out in March of 2006, Michaels has taken Me & The Girls from coast to coast to the biggest pride festivals, club shows, music festivals, appearances, benefits, etc. all over the country. She has been non-stop with her LIVE OUT LOUD PRIDE TOUR (which kicked off at Dinah Shore Weekend in April 2008). While on tour, Lori Michaels has graced the cover of GLBT magazines from NY to LA - including: GO! (cover & 2 features), SHE (2 features), Curve (mentions, features & Entertainer of the Year) IN LA (cover & feature), San Francisco Bay Times (feature), GirL (cover & several features) and more. She has also been interviewed and had her songs played on Clear Channel radio stations, satellite and internet radio such as: Sirius OUT Q, Z-100- NY’s 1 Hit Music Station, WEOW 92.7, 99.5 The Sun, Energy 92.7, G.I.R.L. Radio, AOL Radio, Voice of America, and more. Vlog interviews have included Afterellen.com’s All Access Pass & GirlRock. SheWired.com’s “What’s Your Problem?” features a 3 part series on Lori (& the girls) with a theme song written and performed by Lori Michaels. With various television networks (LOGO, TLC, Style, CW11, here! Networks and more) showing footage of Lori, we can see why everybody wants more than music from Lori Michaels!
Michaels grew up in the small town of Fairview, New Jersey. Her professional training began in her youth at Broadway Dance Center in New York City. She later graduated from New York University with a pre-law degree. She is the founder and president of the non-profit organization, Reach Out, Inc. and is an honorary board member of the Joey Dipaolo AIDS Foundation.
