Hi, my name is Michael Rooney and my band is
Rooney Tunes. I write and sing my music, play piano, keyboards and synthesizers, trombone, flute, recorder, percussion,
and anything else I can pull off.
I use some excellent session players also when needed,(the're friends too), usually a drummer, bass player and saxaphone, or whatever a paticular song calls for.
It's great fun, enjoy.Have you performed in front of an audience?I play live in a big band on lead trombone and some flute solo, and I perform the Rooney Tunes whenever and wherever I can; usually in informal settings like the nearest piano!
Your musical influences
I have influences from many places: big band music like Maynard Ferguson; much classical music; as well as various musicians and genres like: Steely Dan, James Taylor, Gino Vannelli, Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheney, Billy Joel, Seal, Michael Franks, Boz Scaggs, Kenny Loggins, Styx, Dan Fogelberg, Frank Zappa, and many, many others...What equipment do you use?
I am a bit of a purist in that I like to use natural instruments as much as possible,(at least on this CD). Music played directly by people has a soulfullness about it since there is a human spirit connected and running through the instrument; and you can feel that in the music.
I use grand piano, a real drummer,(we record the basic tracks live in the studio with no overdubbing), and real instuments like trombone, flute, trumpet, saxaphone, recorder, vocals, etc. Some synthesizer here and there.
I also have a "less is more" philosophy to my production.Anything else?
My new cd was released October 12th, 2006.
Pick one up today at: rooneytunesmusic.com, iTunes.com, cdbaby.com, napster.com, and many other digital online music stores.

Splendid piece of music. Nice vocal arrangement and production.
Hey Mike,
Love High Up On A River and was glad to add it to my station. My friend and band mate The SolitaireOne keeps lots of your toons playing, was glad he introduced me to your music. Look forward to hearing more from you.
Best regards from one of the mysterious ones! Think I like that distinction.

Just passing to by to say Thank You for the friend request... and you MUST tell me what Maui is like!!!! I wanted to go there for my honeymoon, but being married to a farmer I had to settle for.... Jersey (Channel Islands) just incase we had to rush back for the farm! Hmmmm, no wonder my mother in law no says she'd tells any young women NEVER to marry a farmer!
Anyway... take care...

Hi Mike;
Listening to some great sounds here. When a person listens to alot of different music in other genres and then comes back here it's like a resfreshing soothing sound.
I really am into you song; "Changed My Life". Beautifully done. Great vocals as always. I really dig the way the saxaphone plays in this song. I've added this song to songswriter's station. I am leaving lots of hot votes. And I wish you continued success with your music. Great sounds. Very nice.
thanks for stoppin by my page man... nice sound and solos! Nice music in general- talented guy! peace, enjoying the sounds :)
