Packed with unparalleled musicianship and teeming with the most engaging collection of songs, Jeff Michaels is guaranteed to knock out fans and critics alike. Born in St. Louis and raised in Houston before making his way to Austin, he lived on a steady diet of working ice houses and roadhouses all around the bayou city since the age of 15. From playing in the middle of farm country to the 5th ward, to playing rock gigs in the middle; he's got an eclectic, diverse history. Flash forward many years, with so much rich experience, and you've got a highly sought after, engaging, charming gentleman with impeccable skills; absolutely deadly with a strat and a live mic. Behold Jeff's favorite review ever, an honest, and surely flattering portrait of the time: "So ... I was just thinking about strange sessions I'd done.. this one came up in my mind... there was this kind of street kid...back in the 90's...he hired me to do some songs...guitar player...he used to hang out on 6th Street. His name was Jeff Michaels... We cut at the Congress House and I think Kyle Brock played bass." "So we just cut live 3 piece and the arrangements were very sketchy but the guy was brilliant.. in his own quirky way.. he was kind of like if Prince were white and homeless... and he did a Vulcan mind meld with Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix... his lyrical story was so common man-street, he made Bruce Springsteen sound like William Shakespeare. The kid played brilliant lead guitar... and he was just jamming...it sounded like he made it all up on the spot..but he had a distinct direction and concept...odd as it might have been.....it was REAL art....like RIGHT THE F-k NOW and in your face. I could never be that raw...there was something terrifyingly fascinating about it. I have a tape somewhere....." - Tommy Taylor (Eric Johnson, Christopher Cross) By continually exceeding his own high artistic goals, Michaels' is bound to shatter all other expectations and reach new audiences – no mean feat when you continue his astonishing track record. "Houston Flood" is Michaels’ latest, a long overdue reply to recent events.. however devastating, it brought out the good from so many.. people will ALWAYS remember this. Come in, dry off, have a drink and listen to the soul-nourishing, all-out attack of the almighty power of Jeff's dirty grifter riffs rolling out of walls of Marshalls.). Watch for Jeff out on tour and, really, you never know when he'll be on the east side - drop by and get loose!
