Born in Southern California in late 1951,
I grew up with music all around me.
From "American Bandstand" to "Wolfman Jack"
Buddy Holly to Jimi Hendrix, They all left thier mark.
I've played in bands since my early teens, and all of those musicians I have performed with have left thier marks as well.
I thank them all.
The songs I offer here are the result of that long journey.
They include, live band recordings, local collaborations, internet collaborations, and home solo projects.

Thank You for listening,
Michael Duran.
