an original composition by Martha's Vineyard singer/songwriter Michael Haydn.

Shaker Jive

I'm a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist with a varied career, including many years of jazz and classical guitar study, a two-year stint as lead guitarist in the 113th Army Band (Fort Knox, KY), study at Boston's Berklee College of Music and several decades of performances throughout Massachusetts. Along the way, I've performed in rock bands, and at folk clubs, accompanied singer/songwriters, taught piano, guitar, and drums, composed for live theater, and even enjoyed a cameo in the film 'Jaws.' These days I perform jazz classical, folk-jazz, folk-blues, bossa nova, and flamenco in a variety of venues and for special events. I would like to reach out to other areas now, in an effort to find mutual interests to my own.
