Michael has been composing and recording guitar instrumental music for 37+ years. Known for the relaxing and calming style of his compositions, he has garnered fans all over the world especially since embarking on a solo career after many years spent in bands. Though actually not intending to learn to play, a promise he made to his mother upon receiving his first guitar on his 16th birthday, he found his voice and heart once he picked it up and from day one began composing his own tunes. Michael's been busy since 2006, when he recorded his first solo album 'Clearly', recording an album each successive year including three with his duo Rushingwind & Mucklow, and the newly released Ant Hill Brothers album, for a total of nine recordings to date. Two more releases are planned for 2013. Albums and singles are available for purchase in the digital realm here, at CD-Baby, on iTunes, and at other digital media resource websites.
