A note from Michael:
“I have never had to compromise and play something that I didn’t feel was right for me. I have always been able to hold that Heavy edge in all the aspects of my playing. You may know me from my many previous projects in which I have always sought to bring a High Energy & Uncompromising Heaviness to the local Music scene. My playing style has always been focused around Metal, Hard Rock, and Progressive Music. For over 35 years I have refined my style and sound to put forth an unparalleled drive & presence. I have continuously strived to evolve as a player. In the ongoing quest for tone I have been proud to focus on great Chicago area manufacturers and use their incredible instruments & tools to further define the unmistakable sound of this region. I utilize a wide range of bass guitars including 4, 5, 6, and 8 string basses. I am very Honored & Humbled to be able to play music for people and will always do my best to put on a great show. Music has always been, and will always be, a driving force in my life.
Hope to see you at a Bootlegger show soon….\m/”
