------------------------------------------------
Born and raised in Menifee, California, Michelle’s desire to perform began by the time she took her first steps. Michelle entered and won, many of the larger signing competitions held in surrounding cities near her home which led to being the opener for Carolyn Dawn Johnson.
In late 2003, Michelle recorded her 4 song demo “Stronger than Goodbye” at Broken Bow Records in Nashville, TN. Following this recording came several offers from the Nashville music community, from major record labels to small independent producers. Michelle stayed busy fielding requests and weighing each opportunity seriously. She loves live performance and does very well maintaining an active schedule of events.
In May, 2006 Michelle opened for Carrie Underwood at the “Key Club”, Morongo”. This shows success led to another offer to open for the legendary David Allan Coe just 6 months later. This show was a bit more challenging as the Michelle Crowley Band had a much tougher crowd to impress upon…and that they did and succeeded in gaining an even larger fan base.
Michelle’s true passion in her career is her organization she co-founded that assists in raising money for families of fallen firefighters. Her first annual benefit concert was held on December 3, 2006 benefiting the firefighters lost in the Esperanza, California fire of October, 2006. This concert raised over $14,000 with only 3 weeks of planning, this was a major achievement for her cause.
Numerous country music stars such as Big & Rich, Brooks and Dunn, Wynonna and Charlie Daniels (just to name a few), supported and contributed to this event which will be held annually. She has dedicated all proceeds from her project to the “Wildland Firefighters Foundation” and works closely with the founder, Burke Minor who continually offers his encouragement and assistance.
Michelle will be opening for Josh Gracin in Lake Elsinore, CA on June 20th and just following has several shows lined up for the K-Frog Summer Concert Series.
Michelle will be returning to Nashville at the end of June, 2008 to finish her full length record and she is setting her sites on the launching of her new website to debut her CD .
