   About Michael Bassett
BBC Radio, UK
"That was Michael Bassett. Sounds great, doesn't he?"

Vesterålen News, Norway
"...breathtaking songs... a voice bringing tears to your eyes... a must see."

Rough Trade Records, London, UK
"(limited vinyl edition of Soft Verges) ...the sound quality is amazing... something special to keep for many many years... this record is truely a labor of love and work of art with powerful lyrics, thoughtful compositions, very emotional and moving vocals."

Winds Magazine, Japan
"He is fantastic... ."

The Albany Times Union, United States
"...one of our most promising and adventurous singer-songwriters."

The Progfiles (http://www.theprogfiles.com)
"...it's been a while since I came across a record with such musical quality and poetic lyrics... brilliant indeed!"

The Woodstock Times, NY, USA
"His own voice, his own path. ...passionate, poetic..."

Evening Herald, Plymouth UK
"...compelling… completely different… the most incredible vocal range..."

Michael Bassett is an American songwriter, singer and guitarist currently living in the UK. Bassett maps a sonic territory all his own where songs move between subtle acoustic and wild electrified soundplay, combining the raw catharsis of modern emo, the world-wise lilt of classic folk and the virtuosity of progressive rock.

Hey Michael,
check out our new badly recorded song: Suicide fears (for britney spears)! The production is terrible, in fact its more like a sketch than a song.
But it is funny!

That's true but you must never forget that the Scotch egg can sense fear.

I don't know when I'll be back in Devon again. I know I'll be in Bristol next year for a solo show. But then again who knows. All paths somehow pass through
Totnes. I blame the lay lines.
I hope the gigs went well, and once again your recent stuff is sounding really good!
Good luck with everything.
I'll holla when next I'm west-country bound

Hey no worries bud. Where are you anyway? I was back in Devon briefly shooting a short film with Stewart Home. In the back of my mind I was figuring our paths would cross, but no joy.
Where are you?!
Justin





May 20 2008 7:18 AM

Hey Michael,
The songs off Soft Verges sounds great. A bit dark in places and you now I'm digging that ;)
Hope it's all going well bud,
Justin

Yeah, house concert sounds good man!
(Sorry about slow response)
Mums a bit bummed out, because she might have to have an operation on her knee (post dodgy ski-ing accident) which'll leave her cooped up during the summer and whatnot.
Hows it going at your end?
Take care,
Alex.

Hey Michael

Heard you were heading off on tour to the US, so thought I'd say best of luck and hope you have a ball.
