Sounds Like: Michael sounds like Michael. He covers a lot of tunes, but he doesn't copy anyone. He has developed his own style, and is constantly growing with each outing. Never satisfied to just sit still, he is always trying new things, and new ways to present classic material.But, if you like aggressive blues in the style of Tinsley Ellis, Roy Buchanan or SRV, then you will like Michael.
