Michael was born in Chicago, IL in December of 1955. He was raised in southern California. In 1997 he was drawn to the mountains and scenic beauty of Idaho where he found his niche. Michael and his wife live near Mackay, ID surrounded by what used to be Shoshone land. Since his youth, Michael has had strong ties to Native American traditions and beliefs. Much of his inspiration comes while walking through the Shoshone land where the spirits of the Ancient Ones dwell.
His interest in The Native American flute started several years ago when he received a small cedar flute as a gift. Michael enjoys sharing his passion and hopes to impart this to all who listen to his music. He enjoys exploring all aspects of the Native American flute - traditional, jazz, blues, etc.
Since the release of his first CD - VISION QUEST Songs of the Native Flute - Michael has been a featured guest on NBC's Channel 6 Morning Show in Pocatello, ID three times. His first appearance, according to Tyeson Raye, one of the show's producers, raised their ratings 5 points! They gave away two VISION QUEST CDs on each show and received record amounts of calls for them. Michael also appeared on NBC in Boise, ID and CBS in Eugene, OR.
At the International New Age Trade Show in Denver 2001, Michael was a selected performer. His music was very well received.
While on tour in Oregon in 2001, Michael was honored by an invitation from Geronimo Swift Eagle to perform at the graduation ceremony of "Native Warriors Guardians of Tomorrow's Youth" at the Salem Men's Correctional Facility. N.W.G.T.Y. is a program whose teachings and guidance help young Native Americans make wise decisions in their day to day living.
Michael has performed at weddings, our community barbecue, which draws thousands of people, and has done performances and signings at several locations in eastern Idaho. He has also performed at parks and special events throughout Oregon and Washington.Have you performed in front of an audience?I DID A COUPLE OF MORNING SHOWS ON NBS AND CBS IN EAST IDAHO
