Weaving intricate soundscapes with his guitar, his set features original compositions, performed with depth, nuance and groove. .
Michael is well known for his appearances in UK blues festivals & clubs across the country. Embracing the rich history of early blues,Michael’s powerful picking and slide shine on material from classic acoustic blues to self-penned songs & instrumentals his own writing style draws from the likes of Renbourn, Graham as well as the early acoustic bluesmen of the 1930s.
Both men are masters of the acoustic guitar with their styles being at opposite ends of the spectrum.
