Michael is the most well-rounded musician on the planet. He forgot more about music yesterday than I ever knew. Weve played together many times and Ive gone out to see him or his band countless times. Any song that you can think of, he knows. Crazy thing is that he can prob tell you who produced it and other cool stories about meaning & such. But the bottom line is that hes a fine musician, great guitar player and a masterful front man! He can work any crowd and engage them like no other. If I didnt have my own band, Id pay him to play my party everytime!

HAHA Thank you Jeff! Your kind words mean a lot because I know YOU are just as passionate as I am about making folks happy with live music! I was flattered to be asked to play with you at Brent & Sarah's engagement party. Entertaining people close to you at special private events like that is so rewarding, it reminds us why we love to play music in the first place! And needless to say, if you guys in The Unmentionables ever need a sub, I'll be there in a heartbeat!

Michael and his band performed on the rooftop deck of my Midtown condo building for my birthday party. The music was upbeat and he played my favorite songs. His band was a huge hit with my guests and it was fun to see residents in the building across the street come out on their balconies to listen and clap after songs!

Thank you so much, Pamela. I really appreciate the support and I'm delighted live music was able to make your special event even more memorable for you and you guests, and for your neighbors on their balconies! HAHA That was really special for me as well.

My name isMike Thompson andI've hosted Michael and his band mates on my porch at least once or twice a year for many years now for the Annual Summerfest and Porchfest fedtivities in Virginia Higland. The events are meant as a celebration of community and Michael and his gang never fail to draw an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd, year after year. The music is vibrant, the guitar work is exquisite and the vocals are excellent. I highly recommend Michael for any event you may have, he is a crowd pleaser every time!

Thank you so much, Mike!
Your kind words mean a lot to me. You’re a tip-top supporter of live music, not only in Virginia Highland, but all of Atlanta! It’s always an honor and a privilege to play for you and your guests at these special events you host at your home. I’m looking forward to the next one!

If you're looking for one of the most entertaining live performers around, look no further. Every show feels like a celebration of music, and you always leave happy you were there. His knowledge of songs is incredible, like a walking encyclopedia of great tunes spanning decades and genres. Whether it's a classic favorite or an unexpected deep cut, he always seems to know exactly what the crowd loves.What makes him even more enjoyable is how much fun he's having himself. His enthusiasm is genuine, infectious, and makes every performance feel personal. He clearly loves what he does, and that energy spreads throughout the room.And as someone who likes to sing along, I especially appreciate that he welcomes it rather than fighting it. He creates an atmosphere where everyone feels like part of the show. Great music, great attitude, and a great time every single performance. Highly recommended!

Thank you, Tom. Your review is a really strong, heartfelt reminder of how powerful it can be when people connect through their love of live music. As a performer I'm always so grateful when I feel that energy and enthusiasm going back and forth between the audience and myself. I look forward to playing for you and your colleagues again soon!
