Michael is well known for his unique reverberating vocals in both his Traditional Country and Country Gospel performances and recordings.

Raised in the small town of Rusk, Texas, Michael’s musical development began at the age of 15 by learning to play both fiddle and guitar. He proceeded to play honky tonks with Alvin Murray, the man that raised him and influenced his interest in performing.

Michael first recorded in Nashville, soon releasing his first record “Last Story” b/w “Texas” in 1983. Later in the mid 80s, several nationally released singles followed on CBT Records including “Country Way”, “Say It Isn’t So”, and “Who You Gonna Be Tonight?”. Each were in rotation at hundreds of Country radio stations and all nationally charted in the Top 10 of the independent artist charts. Although his records received significant airplay nationwide, his records were in heavy rotation on many of the Texas Country radio stations.

In addition to nationally charting records, Michael performed at many Honky Tonk clubs in Texas including Gilley’s, Billy Bob’s, White Elephant Saloon, Broken Spoke, Cotton Eyed Joe’s, and Jitterbugs. At many of these venues and others, Michael was the opening act for major Country Music acts including Joe Stampley, Moe Bandy, Gary Stewart, Dan Seals, David Houston, Johnny Rodriguez, Mel McDaniel, Gene Watson, Dwight Yoakam, Restless Heart, Mark Chesnutt, Randy Travis, and Claude Gray.
