Michael is a singer/songwriter from the Boston, MA area. He was born in 1959. Michael took some piano lessons when he was 11, by the time he had turned 12 he had picked up the guitar and never looked back. In 1981, Michael got accepted to Gordon College in Wenham, Ma. for music performance. His High School grades were not the best but he was accepted into the program based on an audition for the director of music. Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances he did not complete the program.
Michael wrote his first song when he was 20. He writes his songs usually on guitar but he also writes using his keyboard. He has recently been performing his music live at coffee houses and bars. He has a CD coming out shortly that will be avalible at the shows where he is performing.
He has performed his music at an open mike at The Vanillia Bean in Pomfret, CT and at The Steve Key Showcase at the West Side Cafe in Frederick, MD. He has also been performing at open mikes in and around New England; at Java Jo's in Jamacia Plain and Java Jo's in E. Milton, MA, Fish Hill Tavern in Beverly, MA, Gulu Gulu in Lynn, MA, The Harbor House in Gloucester, MA, In A Pig's Eye in Salem, MA and other venues. All great places to see live music. Come on out and experience some great live music. Independent musicians today are working harder than ever to entertain you. So check 'em out tonight.

Funny, that song was my first, from back in 1983. I was VERY into Joan Jett at the time, so it's interesting that you hear the influence. Maura Kennedy
