Band Members:MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY Music Business/Recording Industry/Pre-Law (major) & Business Law (minor) Nashville, TN (newyorkcitysanfranciscosandiego)
Influences:REVIEWS: "Denver-esque"---6TH ANNUAL JOHN DENVER TRIBUTE FESTIVAL---"It's nice to hear good music, doesn't matter what the style, and you Russ, along with your mature lyrics, make it"---THE VIRTUAL RADIO SHOW LONDON, UK---"A nice change, your music can really make the listener think..."---1390 WRIV NEW YORK RADIO
"ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR" with MITCH WINSTON---"Engaging, catchy, contemporary folk originals. Skillful guitar and winning harmonies from this local Russ Michaels Band quartet."---SF FOLKFEST ---"Wooden music played to the highest level of brilliance. Russ pours out his heart to his Berkeley Girl who if she heard this would have come back more than one time for sure. Russ' brand of folk is contemporary as well as well-crafted. Another act that must captivate his audiences."---THE VIRTUAL RADIO SHOW LONDON, UK---"He throws down the still beating heart that enlivens our modest musical soul."---TIN MAN BAND SF, CA---"Wow!...very poetic...fantastic tribute to John Denver..."---1390 WRIV NEW YORK RADIO "ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR" with MITCH WINSTON---"Russ tells a story which unless you listen carefully is lost in the silvery harmonies and jingle jangle. He talks of 90 Miles Down, a place I aim to avoid when I'm in Texas. This is a great track, no more to add."---THE VIRTUAL RADIO SHOW LONDON, UK
Sounds Like: "i remember your face
like it was yesterday
i kinduv like to lie to see if i...can get you off my mind
while you're rubbed on my eyes
from all the times i cried to see...
...a memory of you and me...lookin' back on words i never thought we'd ever say
i aimed for your heart but you walked out of the way
i thought lovin' you would come easier than breathing in my sleep
you ain't comin back but i'm glad you packed our dreams...i never thought you'd be
makin a fool of me
there's nothing more naive
than lovin' recklessly...we'd go another round
you'd spin us up and down
my heart just stopped & lost it's count
our fire was burnin' out..."
