This is quickly becoming my favorite Tshirt (Taken with instagram)
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,

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!
Leave The Ground - House Show Video
For those of you in Indiana and Ohio, you may get to see something quite similar to the video above this weekend, if you’ve RSVP’d to one of these shows! But, for those of you who can’t make it out, Kenny and I have begun our House Show bonanza!… and this video is from the first one at DJ Phillips’ house in Nashville, TN.
Enjoy, and hope to see you at a show soon!
Early Holiday Cheer
Happy November, my friends. As we get closer and closer to the Holiday season [who am I kidding, some of you have already started decorating… go on… you know you have], I find myself searching for that ONE Holiday tune that’ll set the mood for the season. A few years back, I decided to make my own instead, and now I’d like to share that with you!
From now until January 1, 2012 I’m giving away my cover of the Holiday classic “Angels We Have Heard On High” on my Website… right here… as in, go grab it now. I hope it sets you in the Holiday spirit as we move into the season of baking turkey, battling lines at shopping malls [not for me, thank you Amazon], and being thankful for all the loved ones around us, just like I’m thankful to each of you.

Kenny Foster, who has been basically a brother to me for years, recently released his music video “Hometown” which is soon to be debuting on GAC and CMT. He and I have shot goofy videos [lots of them], played countless shows, and rock & rolled together more times than I can count, and I couldn’t be happier to see this video it’s well deserved attention.
Though written for his hometown of Joplin, MO after it was decimated by a tornado this Summer, I think “Hometown” resonates with all of us who understand and can appreciate where we’ve come from.
Please enjoy it below.
