Michael was such a joy to have at our senior living facility. The residents LOVED his show. From the Beatles to Neil Diamond, he could play all of their familiar favorites. He was amazing!!

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!

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 played at a backyard party we hosted and was a hit! He played great mix of music, lots of Southern Rock which the crowd enjoyed.

Thank you Matt! It truly was a pleasure to play for your event. It's a huge compliment to be hired for a landmark birthday party. I had a wonderful time playing, and a lot of great conversations about music with your guests!
