As a side-serving/person, Michael plays with many fine combinations of musicians and their instruments and song.

You can hear examples of that kind of thing from the people who write those songs. The bio/resume over yonder has some good suggestions.

Of that music which Michael writes himself, you can hear a bit of that here.

On his own debut as Antlers and Anchors, the Dream of the Dead Caribou EP (co-produced by all-round great guy and original Rheostatic Dave Clark), the [fantabulous] personnel are:

doug tielli - trombone, xylophone
christine bougie - lap steel, acoustic, and electric guitars
mariah burton - vocal ninjitsu
lesley hoyles - choral olympics ['carry-on crow']
dave clark - thigh slappin' and add. vocals ['dream of the dead caribou']
hannah - vocal caribou channeling ['dream of the dead caribou']
sophie the cat - cat vocals ['carry-on crow']

michael liston - singin', banjo, doublebass (plucked, bowed, scarfed, struck), karaoke box
...
..

and on the "lumston" session, the personnel is:

aaron lumley - one doublebass, singlet
michael liston - another doublebass, singlet

thank you : all the musicians and people and places that have touched and rubbed-off, the sum of its parts, the road, trembling aspens, the railway club, the last sip of coffee, something beautiful held over the balcony's edge, an awkward moment, humous and crusty bread, your front porch, mrs.wilson's string classes.
