Bio:
Michael-Owen Liston is an acoustic and electric musician, raised in the sublime mediterranean idyll of Vancouver, B.C., and now hailing from ..Montreal, QC...,..Onanole, MB.., Toronto, ON.
Michael's healthy appetite for all manner of musical styles and idioms has not only given him strong, healthy bones and teeth, but also a vibrant, lyrical and unique voice on his instruments, chiefly the double-bass, and banjo.
Always striving for the best in aural taste, Mike takes pleasure in being a sensitive, dynamic accompanist, seeking to provide the optimum musical experience, as perscribed by law. While he thoroughly enjoys holding down the firmament, he also has a keen fondness for the textural, experimental urges, and he is a regular participant in Toronto's improvised music community. Michael has also composed soundscores for dance and film, and currently performs his own "alt-roots" songs under the name of Antlers and Anchors
