Facebook Fun for a Happy Holiday!
Outside of being a Musician and Songwriter, I’m probably one of the geekiest designers you’ll ever meet. Usually, this enables me to help other artists promote themselves or make ridiculous video promotions for when my friends and I play music together… but every now and then, I’ll dive into something even goofier.
Take my Facebook Holiday Cover, for instance. What better way to ring in the New Year than with a new timeline… and unofficial uses of image space!
For those of you who are slightly Photoshop savvy, I’ve made a template for you to create your own artwork as well.

Be safe this week if you’re traveling for the Holiday and come on back in a few days… there’s a lot brewing on the music front for 2012, including a Big Announcement!
More soon.

Dear Michael, I know that you haven't been able to do a T-Pain friday in a while, but (if it is at all possible) I would really like to see a T-Pain song next Friday. I will be finished with my finals, and T-Pain seems like the best way to celebrate!
Thanks so much for the message! You’re right, it’s been quite a while since we’ve put one out, mostly because Danny no longer lives in Nashville and is constantly touring and I’ve been keeping up with my own tour schedule…
… but, we’ve have been concocting plans to attempt a remote T-Pain Friday for some time now, and I can’t think of a better time. I’ll see what we can come up with! [Danny Young, this means you!]
All the best,
Michael

Thankful
I sorta always knew it’d be music for me. Nothing else quite seemed to fit. I always considered myself one of the lucky ones. I knew. And though knowing didn’t always make things easy, it could’ve been a lot harder… without You.
You were always there when it was time for cheering. You cared to listen when the clouds seemed low.
We have laughed and lived and made such amazing music together. And we’ll do it again, day after day.
For you, I am so very Thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving,
~ michael
House Show Video from Beavercreek, OH:
History Train
My calendar for 2012 has been booking up with House Shows like this one and I couldn’t be more excited for them. The intimate approach and close proximity to the audience really lets us get into the gritty details of all the songs, and the relationships I’ve started to build through them have be unmatched. I like to think I’m slowly taking over the world, 20 people at a time.
Check out Kenny Foster and I above from the latest House Show we did in Beavercreek, OH. I have a few others from this show I may post here too [something about a city in New England?.. hint hint]
Interested in hosting a House Show of your own? You should be! They’re Awesome and So Easy to do. Click on over to this page for more info and to get in contact with me!
Michael's in Jango's Top 15 Holiday Songs
I’ve been using Jango’s awesome Internet Radio system for a while now, and they’ve done a great job helping independent artists find their audience.
Recently, my Holiday song “Angels We Have Heard On High” made their cut for the official Jango Holiday Radio station… Woot!
But you don’t have to go all the way over there to listen. Download it for FREE here.
… coming up next… video from this past week’s House Shows!
