About Michael
Michael is an accomplished singer/songwriter, and gets a full sound with his guitar and harmonicas. He has performed for more than 35 years as a solo artist, as well as working with duos, trios, and bands.
Michael covers songs, not artists, and each song is his own musical interpretation. His repertoire includes original versions of music from an eclectic song list of 400+ songs that cover the last 40 years, of different genres - rock, pop, blues, country, plus original works. He gained some amount of notoriety with a successful speciality single called "Christmas in Florida" in the 90's which still enjoys radio airplay each year around the Christmas season . Michael has lived mostly in Costa Rica for the past 23 years, with dual U.S. and Costa Rican citizenship, and has performed at numerous venues in the Costa Rica Central Valley area and beaches, as well as in Panama and Nicaragua. He returns regularly to perform in Florida where he has roots. He loves live performances and often will have talented local guest musicians performing with him.
