Boston based singer, songwriter, musician and former front man for The Casual Outcasts.  

His songwriting pulls from his many diverse influences over the years, including Laurie Anderson, The Beatles, The Cars, Chic, Robyn Hitchcock, The Kinks, Yoko Ono, Pink Floyd, The Psychedelic Furs, and The Talking Heads just to name a few. 

If you listen carefully you may hear them shine through in his music?

His song, IN LOVE WITH A FRIEND, was part of the DEEP DISH album, GEORGE IS ON, which received a Grammy Nomination for "SAY HELLO" in 2005. 

IN LOVE WITH A FRIEND was also featured in the hit television show, UGLY BETTY.

In late 2020 he began writing and recording a collection of songs enabled and inspired by the excess time at home alone due to all of the craziness in the world.

EVERYBODY LOVES YOUR SONG is the first single, which started as a test song to learn the some of new equipment and digital programs recently acquired to record at his home studio.

All instruments and vocals performed and recorded by Michael. Drums programed using EZ Drummer 2!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for listening!
