   About Mike Gentry & Amy Morgan
Mike and Amy met at Eastern Michigan University in 1998 while enrolled in the music education program. In 1999 they began what is a continuing association with Dayjams, the National Music Workshop's rock and roll summer day camp for kids. www.dayjams.com They have been writing and playing music together since early 2002 when they formed the band "Shining Farmer" with friends Gil Clark and Teddy Ribbens. They released their debut album in the fall of 2003, which included their critically acclaimed ballad "Rescue" www.shiningfarmer.com As far as Mike and Amy's musical backgrounds go, Mike was raised on the three chord workouts of Elvis and Johnny Cash, and in the early 90's stalked the wilds of Hollywood, CA with a Gibson Les Paul and a Marshall. Amy has more eclectic sensibilities, with influences ranging from Bach to Ben Harper, and experiences from teaching music in the public schools to music director at a local church. Together they make music that defies easy catagorization. Their songs range from the quietly introspective and beautiful, to the rollicking, extroverted and funny. They are engaging performers and their shows are always entertaining. They are a group on the edge of becoming. 2007 will be a good one.
