New Music Alert! For Bandcamp Friday, and in time to speak into discussions about politics and music (hello, US mid-terms; croeso, Ed Sheeran and Free Palestine), Michael has a new three-song EP Anti-Capitalist Dream. More rock than you might have come to expect, though still with a folky touch. Check it out, exclusively on Bandcamp.
All Michael’s music, including February’s full-length release If Words Could Mend a Heart, is available as a download or CD at Bandcamp, and it’s streaming in all the usual places. For the first time, his music is also available as vinyl on demand from ElasticStage.
Check out the video for “Burn Through What We Desire”.
Michael writes about the musical moment that transformed him. Read his essay on Aerosmith’s “Livin’ on the Edge” on This Song Changed My Life.

Michael visited Newport City Radio in March for their Love Live Music Day, talking about the new album, the song “It Comes to This” which was their Record of the Week, and other stories about his music.
“It’s mellow and heady… the songs work so well because of the words.” – Kelly Kintner, Only The Host
“His instincts are good… and the folky pop benefits from the intimate setting he has crafted.” – Lynn Saxberg, Ottawa Citizen
“A voice soaked in honey, followed by a Colombian coffee chaser.” – The Charlatan
“He brings to his tunes the poet’s love of beauty, the journalist’s attention to the telling detail, the theologian’s continual struggle to describe the ineffable.” – Ottawa Folk Festival
